Summary

IBM Dynamic System Analysis (DSA) Preboot has addressed the following vulnerabilities in OpenSSH.

Vulnerability Details

CVEID: CVE-2018-15919
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSH could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by an error in auth-gss2.c when GSS2 is in use. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to enumerate valid usernames. Note: The discoverer has stated that the OpenSSH developers do not want to treat such a username enumeration as a vulnerability.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/148952 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2018-15473
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSH could allow a remote attacker to obtain sensitive information, caused by different responses to valid and invalid authentication attempts. By sending a specially crafted request, an attacker could exploit this vulnerability to enumerate valid usernames.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/148397 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:L/I:N/A:N)

CVEID: CVE-2017-15906
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSH is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by an error in the process_open() function when in read-only mode. A remote authenticated attacker could exploit this vulnerability to create zero-length files and cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 6.5
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/133128 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined

CVEID: CVE-2016-10708
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSH is vulnerable to a denial of service, caused by a NULL pointer dereference. By sending a specially crafted SSH2_MSG_NEWKEYS message, a remote attacker could exploit this vulnerability to cause a denial of service.
CVSS Base Score: 5.3
CVSS Temporal Score: See https://exchange.xforce.ibmcloud.com/vulnerabilities/117448 for the current score
CVSS Environmental Score*: Undefined
CVSS Vector: (CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L)

CVEID: CVE-2016-10012
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSH could allow a local attacker to gain elevated privileges on the system, caused by improper bounds checking in the shared memory manager. An attacker could exploit this vulnerability to gain elevated privileges on the system.
CVSS Base Score: 5.9

CVEID: CVE-2008-1483
DESCRIPTION: OpenSSH could allow a local authenticated attacker to hijack forwarded X11 sessions, caused by an error in sshd when setting the DISPLAY environment variable. By listening to the same port used to forward the X11 session, a local attacker could obtain the MIT-MAGIC-COOKIE and hijack other user''s sessions.
