| Vector | AV:L/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenSSH on FreeBSD versions 4.4 and earlier
Description
The issue allows local users to bypass capabilities checks and read arbitrary files by specifying alternate copyright or welcome files, due to libutil in OpenSSH not dropping privileges before verifying the capabilities for reading these files.
Recommendations
For OpenSSH on FreeBSD versions 4.4 and earlier, consider updating to a version where this issue is resolved, or as a temporary workaround, restrict access to the copyright and welcome files to minimize the risk of exploitation.
