Description D'juan McDonald (domhnall) 2018-08-23 08:01:27 UTC
(https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2018-7750):

transport.py in the SSH server implementation of Paramiko before 1.17.6, 1.18.x before 1.18.5, 2.0.x before 2.0.8, 2.1.x before 2.1.5, 2.2.x before 2.2.3, 2.3.x before 2.3.2, and 2.4.x before 2.4.1 does not properly check whether authentication is completed before processing other requests, as demonstrated by channel-open. A customized SSH client can simply skip the authentication step.

(http://www.paramiko.org/changelog.html):
"Additionally, pyasn1 has been removed from setup.py and its imports in the GSSAPI code made optional."

@maintainer(s): 2.4.1 is in tree, as is vulnerable 2.3.1. are we dropping vulnerable version(s)?

Comment 1 Virgil Dupras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-08-23 11:06:05 UTC
We will have to stabilize alpha first, which depends on bug 647562. Because it could take a while, maybe we should mask 2.1.2 (the current stable version for alpha).

I don't see, in revdep, any version constraint that would require us to keep anything below 2.4.1.

Comment 4 Virgil Dupras (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2018-10-05 18:22:01 UTC
Now that alpha was keyworded, we can start stabilization.

Alpha, please stabilize:

=dev-python/paramiko-2.4.1
=dev-python/pynacl-1.2.1

Thanks!
