high Nessus Plugin ID 85594

Synopsis

The remote FreeBSD host is missing a security-related update.

Description

OpenSSH 6.8 and 6.9 incorrectly set TTYs to be world-writable. Local attackers may be able to write arbitrary messages to logged-in users, including terminal escape sequences. Reported by Nikolay Edigaryev.

Fixed a privilege separation weakness related to PAM support.
Attackers who could successfully compromise the pre-authentication process for remote code execution and who had valid credentials on the host could impersonate other users.

Fixed a use-after-free bug related to PAM support that was reachable by attackers who could compromise the pre-authentication process for remote code execution.

Solution

Update the affected package.
