medium Nessus Plugin ID 91617

Language:

Synopsis

The remote device is missing a vendor-supplied security patch.

Description

CVE-2014-2653 The verify_host_key function in sshconnect.c in the client in OpenSSH 6.6 and earlier allows remote servers to trigger the skipping of SSHFP DNS RR checking by presenting an unacceptable HostCertificate.

CVE-2014-2532 sshd in OpenSSH before 6.6 does not properly support wildcards on AcceptEnv lines in sshd_config, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended environment restrictions by using a substring located before a wildcard character.
