Portable OpenSSH versions 3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1 contain multiple vulnerabilities in the new PAM code. At least one of these bugs is remotely exploitable (under a non-standard configuration, with privsep disabled). The OpenBSD releases of OpenSSH do not contain this code and are not vulnerable. Older versions of portable OpenSSH are not vulnerable. Reproducible: Always Steps to Reproduce:

Bugger, came in second this time :) Subject: Portable OpenSSH Security Advisory: sshpam.adv This document can be found at: http://www.openssh.com/txt/sshpam.adv 1. Versions affected: Portable OpenSSH versions 3.7p1 and 3.7.1p1 contain multiple vulnerabilities in the new PAM code. At least one of these bugs is remotely exploitable (under a non-standard configuration, with privsep disabled). The OpenBSD releases of OpenSSH do not contain this code and are not vulnerable. Older versions of portable OpenSSH are not vulnerable. 2. Solution: Upgrade to Portable OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 or disable PAM support ("UsePam no" in sshd_config). Due to complexity, inconsistencies in the specification and differences between vendors' PAM implementations we recommend that PAM be left disabled in sshd_config unless there is a need for its use. Sites only using public key or simple password authentication usually have little need to enable PAM support.
openssh-3.7.1_p2 is in portage. Thank you ( Christian Gut ) for reporting this, we saw your post on the gentoo-dev mailing this before this bug and your ebuild attachment. The X509 patch had to be disabled due to it not existing upstream yet. Right now 3.7.1_p2 is ~arch masked and will be marked stable by each of the arch herds after its been fully tested. A Gentoo Linux Security Announcement was sent out. openssh (200309-14) http://forums.gentoo.org/viewtopic.php?t=88566 changing bug resolution to FIXED
