CVE-2001-1585

CVSS v2.0

6.8

Medium

VectorAV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions OpenSSH version 2.3.1
Description The issue concerns the SSH protocol 2 public key authentication in OpenSSH, which does not perform a challenge-response step to verify that the client has the proper private key. This allows remote attackers to bypass authentication as other users by supplying a public key from that user's authorized keys file.
Recommendations For OpenSSH version 2.3.1, consider disabling public key authentication until a patch is available, and restrict access to the authorized keys file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
