[ SOURCE: http://www.secureroot.com/security/advisories/9735265678.html ] -----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 ________________________________________________________________________ Linux-Mandrake Security Update Advisory ________________________________________________________________________ Package name: openssh Date: October 10th, 2000 Advisory ID: MDKSA-2000:057 Affected versions: 7.0, 7.1 ________________________________________________________________________ Problem Description: A problem exists with openssh's scp program. If a user uses scp to move files from a server that has been compromised, the operation can be used to replace arbitrary files on the user's system. The problem is made more serious by setuid versions of ssh which allow overwriting any file on the local user's system. If the ssh program is not setuid or is setuid to someone other than root, the intrustion is limited to files with write access granted to the owner of the ssh program. In either case, files can be overwritten with code allowing others access to the system unexpectedly. While no fix has been provided for openssh as of yet, the versions of openssh available for Linux-Mandrake 7.0 and 7.1 were setuid root. This update removes the setuid bit from the ssh program and limits the exploitability of scp somewhat. All users of Linux-Mandrake are encouraged to upgrade to these latest openssh builds. Linux-Mandrake 7.0 users will also need to upgrade openssl in order to use the 7.0 update of openssh. ________________________________________________________________________ Please verify these md5 checksums of the updates prior to upgrading to ensure the integrity of the downloaded package. You can do this by running the md5sum program on the downloaded package by using "md5sum package.rpm".

If you want to upgrade manually, download the updated package from one of our FTP server mirrors and uprade with "rpm -Uvh package_name". You can download the updates directly from: ftp://ftp.linux.tucows.com/pub/distributions/Mandrake/Mandrake/updates ftp://ftp.free.fr/pub/Distributions_Linux/Mandrake/updates Or try one of the other mirrors listed at: http://www.linux-mandrake.com/en/ftp.php3. Updated packages are available in the "updates/[ver]/RPMS/" directory. For example, if you are looking for an updated RPM package for Linux-Mandrake 7.1, look for it in "updates/7.1/RPMS/". Updated source RPMs are available as well, but you generally do not need to download them. Please be aware that sometimes it takes the mirrors a few hours to update, so if you want an immediate upgrade, please use one of the two above-listed mirrors.
