SSH » SSH : Security Vulnerabilities, CVEs, CVSS score >= 6

The random number generator in the Crypto application before 2.0.2.2, and SSH before 2.0.5, as used in the Erlang/OTP ssh library before R14B03, uses predictable seeds based on the current time, which makes it easier for remote attackers to guess DSA host and SSH session keys.

SSH 1 through 3, and possibly other versions, allows local users to bypass restricted shells such as rbash or rksh by uploading a script to a world-writeable directory, then executing that script to gain normal shell access.

SSH before 2.0, with RC4 encryption and the "disallow NULL passwords" option enabled, makes it easier for remote attackers to guess portions of user passwords by replaying user sessions with certain modifications, which trigger different messages depending on whether the guess is correct or not.

SSH before 2.0, when using RC4 and password authentication, allows remote attackers to replay messages until a new server key (VK) is generated.

The SSH-1 protocol allows remote servers to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks and replay a client challenge response to a target server by creating a Session ID that matches the Session ID of the target, but which uses a public key pair that is weaker than the target's public key, which allows the attacker to compute the corresponding private key and use the target's Session ID with the compromised key pair to masquerade as the target.

The SSH protocols 1 and 2 (aka SSH-2) as implemented in OpenSSH and other packages have various weaknesses which can allow a remote attacker to obtain the following information via sniffing: (1) password lengths or ranges of lengths, which simplifies brute force password guessing, (2) whether RSA or DSA authentication is being used, (3) the number of authorized_keys in RSA authentication, or (4) the lengths of shell commands.

SSH daemon version 1 (aka SSHD-1 or SSH-1) 1.2.30 and earlier does not log repeated login attempts, which could allow remote attackers to compromise accounts without detection via a brute force attack.

CORE SDI SSH1 CRC-32 compensation attack detector allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands on an SSH server or client via an integer overflow.

SSH 1.2.27 with Kerberos authentication support stores Kerberos tickets in a file which is created in the current directory of the user who is logging in, which could allow remote attackers to sniff the ticket cache if the home directory is installed on NFS.

SSH 1.2.25 on HP-UX allows access to new user accounts.

A race condition in the authentication agent mechanism of sshd 1.2.17 allows an attacker to steal another user's credentials.

Stolen credentials from SSH clients via ssh-agent program, allowing other local users to access remote accounts belonging to the ssh-agent user.
