Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 secuirty vulnerabilities.


1) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6387)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in portable version of sshd. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a series of requests in order to trigger a race condition and execute arbitrary code on the system.


2) Information disclosure (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-39894)

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due a logic error in ObscureKeystrokeTiming implementation within the ssh client. A local user with ability to passively observe SSH sessions can recover sensitive input, such as password for the su or sudo programs.


3) Race condition (CVE-ID: CVE-2024-6409)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise the affected system.

The vulnerability exists due to a race condition in portable version of sshd when handling signals. If a remote attacker does not authenticate within a set time period, then sshd's SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send a series of requests in order to trigger a race condition and execute arbitrary code on the system.
