Detail

If the UseLogin feature is enabled in for ssh local users could pass environment variables (including variables like LD_PRELOAD) to the login process. This has been fixed by not copying the environment of UseLogin is enabled.

Please note that the default configuration for Debian does not have the UseLogin enabled.

This has been fixed in version 1:1.2.3-9.4.

Id Description
688 OpenSSH UseLogin Environment Variable Local Command Execution

OpenSSH contains a flaw that may allow a malicious local attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system. The issue is triggered by a vulnerability in the UseLogin configuration option. If the UseLogin option is enabled, a local attacker can set the LD_PRELOAD or LD_LIBRARY_PATH environment variable to point to a maliciously created shared library file, which would be executed with superuser privileges when the login program is executed. This flaw may lead to a loss of Confidentiality, Integrity, and/or Availability.
