SSH Communications Security Information for VU#978316

Date Notified:2003-06-06
Date Updated:
Status Summary:Not Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

Since 3.0.0, SSH Secure Shell server has had an additional specifier for matching with the host addresses, which can be used to only match IP-addresses or IP-masks. For example, one could specify

AllowUsers *@\i192.168.*.*

Since 3.1.0, a specifier for address masks was added.

AllowUsers *@\m192.168.0.0/16

The specifiers are to be prepended to the address, and are "\i" and "\m", respectively.

Thus, SSH Secure Shell daemon is not vulnerable to this, if these specifiers are used.
