High
| Vector | AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P |
Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions
OpenSSH versions prior to 6.6
OpenSSH version 5.3p1
Description
The issue allows remote attackers to bypass intended environment restrictions by using a substring located before a wildcard character in the AcceptEnv lines of the sshd config configuration file. This can lead to a violation of confidentiality and integrity of protected information. The vulnerability can be exploited remotely.
Recommendations
For OpenSSH versions prior to 6.6, update to version 6.6 or later to resolve the issue.
For OpenSSH version 5.3p1, consider disabling the use of wildcard characters in the AcceptEnv lines of the sshd config configuration file as a temporary workaround until a patch is available.
Restrict access to the sshd config configuration file to minimize the risk of exploitation.
