7.5 HIGH — AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Description

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.

Affected configurations

• openbsd openssh 4.5 • ssh ssh 1.2.24 • ssh ssh 1.2.25 • ssh ssh 1.2.26 • ssh ssh 1.2.27 • ssh ssh 1.2.28 • ssh ssh 1.2.29 • ssh ssh 1.2.30 • ssh ssh 1.2.31
