Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10

Summary:

OpenSSH could be made to run programs if it received specially crafted network traffic from an authenticated user.

Software Description: - openssh: secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines

Details:

Markus Friedl discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled memory when the AES-GCM cipher was used. A remote authenticated attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code as their user, possibly bypassing shell or command restrictions.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 13.10:
openssh-server 1:6.2p2-6ubuntu0.1

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Description: The mm_newkeys_from_blob function in monitor_wrap.c in sshd in OpenSSH 6.2 and 6.3, when an AES-GCM cipher is used, does not properly initialize memory for a MAC context data structure, which allows remote authenticated users to bypass intended ForceCommand and login-shell restrictions via packet data that provides a crafted callback address.
