F-Secure Information for VU#157447

Date Notified
Date Modified04/20/2002 06:18:02 PM
Status SummaryNot Vulnerable

Vendor Statement

The F-Secure SSH versions 2.x - 3.x doesn't have UseLogin option, nor any means to use 'login' to perform user session setup. Since environmental variables are set only after we're running on user uid, we don't see other exploits of this sort either. Furthermore, administrator is able to control which environmental variables the client is able to set in ssh daemon config file.

The F-Secure SSH 1.x versions don't provide means for the client to set environmental variables on the server. Also, while a valid user is able to set environmental variables on the server via pubkey authentication options, these are actually not set in case of 'UseLogin' and use of 'login' to handle user logon.
