F5 Networks BIG-IP : OpenSSH vulnerability (K17461)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 97560

Language:

Synopsis

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

Description

The x11_open_helper function in channels.c in ssh in OpenSSH before 6.9, when ForwardX11Trusted mode is not used, lacks a check of the refusal deadline for X connections, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions via a connection outside of the permitted time window. (CVE-2015-5352)

Impact

A remote attacker may be able to bypass intended access restrictions.

Solution

Upgrade to one of the non-vulnerable versions listed in the F5 Solution K17461.
