Description Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-26 21:59:52 UTC
CVE-2008-1483 (http://nvd.nist.gov/nvd.cfm?cvename=CVE-2008-1483):
  OpenSSH 4.3p2, and probably other versions, allows local users to hijack
  forwarded X connections by causing ssh to set DISPLAY to :10, even when
  another process is listening on the associated port, as demonstrated by
  opening TCP port 6010 (IPv4) and sniffing a cookie sent by Emacs.

According to the openssh upstream, this also affects vanilla versions later than 4.3. See

-r20 needs to get sorted out otherwise first.  we're focusing on stable here, not ~arrch.

fixed patch failure with USE=X509 by not applying the gsskex patch

~arch is what I meant. We don't need to stable -r20+, but a simple rev-bump and inclusion of the patch should secure ~arch users. Vulnerabilities should be fixed in latest arch and ~arch versions. ~arch will not be covered by the GLSA process though.

Fixed in release snapshot. CC'ing Diego, take a look at #12.
Comment 15 Diego Elio Pettenò (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-30 13:59:35 UTC
Not sure what I have to look at, I used -r20 so that -r5 and so on can be kept for stable non-pambase-aware ebuilds and -r21 could follow that path... is there a problem with providing two ebuilds? (-r5 and -r21)?

No problem at all, just bump -r20 to -r21 including the patch, both staying ~arch.
Comment 17 SpanKY gentoo-dev 2008-03-30 23:56:54 UTC
that patch isnt the only thing to go into the ebuild.  i'll take care of the -r21 transition, but as i said i'm not doing it just yet until other things get sorted out (specific to the -r20 ebuild).

as you already noted, security is concerned about stable, not unstable
Comment 18 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-03-31 15:53:33 UTC
request filed.
Comment 19 Robert Buchholz (RETIRED) gentoo-dev 2008-04-05 12:55:13 UTC
GLSA 200804-03

Fixed for ~arch in 5.0_p1
