Status Summary:Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

IBM makes available OpenSSH for AIX customers as a software package under the AIX-Linux Affinity initiative. This package is included on the AIX Toolbox for Linux Applications CD, and can be downloaded via the IBM Linux Affinity website. The currently available version of OpenSSH is susceptible to the vulnerability described here. We will update our OpenSSH offering soon to a version that is not vulnerable; this update will be made available for downloading by accessing this URL:

http://www6.software.ibm.com/dl/aixtbx/aixtbx-p

and following the instructions presented there.

Please note that OpenSSH, and all Linux Affinity software, is offered on an "as-is" basis. IBM does not own the source code for this software, nor has it developed and fully tested this code. IBM does not support these software packages.

Customers may wish to obtain and install a non-vulnerable version of OpenSSH (ver. 3.0.2) from other sites, pending the posting of our updated version. However, other sites may not offer recompiled
packages for AIX, making necessary the customer having to build the binaries.
