medium Nessus Plugin ID 73202

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Ubuntu host is missing a security-related patch.

Description

Jann Horn discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled wildcards in AcceptEnv lines. A remote attacker could use this issue to possibly bypass certain intended environment variable restrictions.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected openssh-server package.
