Mandrake Linux Security Advisory : openssh (MDKSA-2007:236)

high Nessus Plugin ID 29233

Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

A flaw in OpenSSH prior to 4.7 prevented ssh from properly handling when an untrusted cookie could not be created and used a trusted X11 cookie instead, which could allow attackers to violate intended policy and gain privileges by causing an X client to be treated as trusted.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issue.

Solution

Update the affected packages.
