Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.

1) Improper Authentication

EUVDB-ID: #VU75740

Risk: High

CVSSv4.0: 8.1 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Amber]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-2283

CWE-ID: CWE-287 - Improper Authentication

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass authentication process.

The vulnerability exists due to an error within the pki_verify_data_signature() function in pki_crypto.c. The pki_key_check_hash_compatible() function can return SSH_OK value if memory allocation error happens later in the function. The  A remote attacker can bypass authentication process and gain unauthorized access to the system.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.
