WRQ, Inc. Information for VU#419241

Reflection for Secure IT UNIX Server version 6.0
Reflection for Secure IT Windows Server version 6.0
F-Secure SSH Server for Windows version 5.x
F-Secure SSH Server for UNIX version 3.x through 5.x


Problem Correction:

AttachmateWRQ Reflection for Secure IT and F-Secure SSH Server users should install an upgrade, as specified in WRQ Tech Note 1882 ( http://support.wrq.com/techdocs/1882.html).

The following workaround may prevent exploitation of the vulnerability: On UNIX Servers
1. Edit the SSH server's sshd2_config file:
1. Change the line
subsystem-sftp internal://sftp-server
to
subsystem-sftp sftp-server
Note: This change disallows the use of chroot.
2. Comment out the SftpSyslogFacility keyword line. Note: The line should begin with two "pound" signs, as in this example:
## SftpSyslogFacility LOCAL7
2. Restart the SSH server to read the changes in the configuration file.

On Windows Servers
The only workaround is to disable the sftp subsystem as follows:
1. Edit the SSH server's sshd2_config file and comment out the subsystem-sftp line. Note: The line should begin with two "pound" signs, as in this example:
## subsystem-sftp "fsshsftpd.exe"
2. Restart the SSH server to read the change in the configuration file.
