Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54328
Category:Fedora Local Security Checks
Title:Fedora Legacy Security Advisory FLSA-2005:123014
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory FLSA-2005:123014.

The scp protocol allows a server to instruct a client to write to
arbitrary files outside of the current directory. This could potentially
cause a security issue if a user uses scp to copy files from a malicious
server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org)
has assigned the name CVE-2004-0175 to this issue.

These updated packages also correct the following bug: On systems where
direct ssh access for the root user was disabled by configuration
(setting PermitRootLogin no), attempts to guess the root password
could be judged as sucessful or unsucessful by observing a delay.

Users of openssh should upgrade to these updated packages, which contain
backported patches to resolve these issues.

Affected platforms:
Redhat 7.3
Redhat 9
Fedora Core 1
Fedora Core 2

Solution:

Risk factor : Medium

CVSS Score:
4.3
