diese Informationen unveraendert an Sie weiter.
CVE-2009-2904 – Schwachstelle in der RedHat Enterprise OpenSSH Option
‘ChrootDirectory’
Durch einen RedHat spezifischen Patch fuer OpenSSH wurden
Anforderungen an Besitzrechte von Verzeichnissen, die als Argumente
fuer die ChrootDirectory Funktion verwandt werden, irrtuemlich
gelockert. Ein lokaler Angreifer kann diese Schwachstelle zur
Privilegieneskalation ausnutzen und beliebige Befehle mit
administrativen Rechten zur Ausfuehrung bringen.
Betroffen sind die folgenden Software Pakete und Plattformen:
Paket openssh
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) – i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) – i386, x86_64
Vom Hersteller werden ueberarbeitete Pakete zur Verfuegung gestellt.

Red Hat Security Advisory
Synopsis: Moderate: openssh security update
Advisory ID: RHSA-2009:1470-01
Product: Red Hat Enterprise Linux
Advisory URL: https://rhn.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2009-1470.html
Issue date: 2009-09-30
CVE Names: CVE-2009-2904
=====================================================================
1. Summary:
Updated openssh packages that fix a security issue are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5.
This update has been rated as having moderate security impact by the Red
Hat Security Response Team.
2. Relevant releases/architectures:
Red Hat Enterprise Linux (v. 5 server) – i386, ia64, ppc, s390x, x86_64
Red Hat Enterprise Linux Desktop (v. 5 client) – i386, x86_64
3. Description:
OpenSSH is OpenBSD’s SSH (Secure Shell) protocol implementation. These
packages include the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH client and
server.
A Red Hat specific patch used in the openssh packages as shipped in Red
Hat Enterprise Linux 5.4 (RHSA-2009:1287) loosened certain ownership
requirements for directories used as arguments for the ChrootDirectory
configuration options. A malicious user that also has or previously had
non-chroot shell access to a system could possibly use this flaw to
escalate their privileges and run commands as any system user.
(CVE-2009-2904)
All OpenSSH users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to resolve this issue. After installing this
update, the OpenSSH server daemon (sshd) will be restarted automatically.
4. Solution:
Before applying this update, make sure that all previously-released
errata relevant to your system have been applied.
This update is available via Red Hat Network. Details on how to use
the Red Hat Network to apply this update are available at
http://kbase.redhat.com/faq/docs/DOC-11259
