Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 6 vulnerabilities.

1) Inadequate encryption strength

EUVDB-ID: #VU84537

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: 2.9 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-48795

CWE-ID: CWE-326 - Inadequate Encryption Strength

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), which mishandles the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5.

The vulnerability was dubbed "Terrapin attack" and it affects both client and server implementations.

Mitigation

Install update from vendor's website.

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-37920

CWE-ID: CWE-345 - Insufficient Verification of Data Authenticity

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.

The vulnerability exist due to software recognizes "e-Tugra" root certificates, which were subject to an investigation prompted by reporting of security issues in their systems. An attacker with ability to generate certificates signed with the compromised "e-Tugra" root certificate can perform MitM attack.

Mitigation
