OpenSSH Security Advisory: x11fwd.adv This document may be found at: http://www.openssh.com/txt/x11fwd.adv 1. Affected configurations All versions of OpenSSH prior to 7.2p2 with X11Forwarding enabled. 2. Vulnerability Missing sanitisation of untrusted input allows an authenticated user who is able to request X11 forwarding to inject commands to xauth(1). Injection of xauth

Portable OpenSSH 7.2p2 has just been released. It will be available from the mirrors listed at http://www.openssh.com/ shortly. OpenSSH is a 100% complete SSH protocol 2.0 implementation and includes sftp client and server support. OpenSSH also includes transitional support for the legacy SSH 1.3 and 1.5 protocols that may be enabled at compile-time. Once again, we would like to thank the

With X11Forwarding off by default, one would assume that it is only enabled on a case-by-case basis for users or groups who

Some OS distributions (FreeBSD, RHEL / CentOS, probably Fedora) have X11Forwarding enabled by default. DES --

I do not often use X11 - but when I do I prefer to enable X11forwarding, and when finished - turn it off. This is preferable, imho, to having "clear" X11 processing when local - and otherwise impossible when working remote. Working with openssh-7.5p2 I cannot figure out what (extra) I need to do with sshd_config to get it working. I know that there is a security-fix starting with

This release fixes a race condition where an existing authority file would be unlinked (possibly causing other clients to fail to connect), and fixes sorting and merging of authority file entries.

The current configuration only works if xauth can be found at /usr/X11R6/bin/xauth, which creates some problems when running sshd on an openwin system. Contained below are patches to find the path of xauth in configure, and set the path in config.h. (also contained is a patch for configure for those without autoconf) Also-- added #include "bsd-daemon" to includes.h, which quiets a

Dear All, I'm using Centos5 to run a firewall, and as part of the intrusion detection apparatus, I use tripwire (tripwire-2.4.1.1-1.fc6.x86_64.rpm - as made for fedora core 6, and then tweaked with my own twpol.txt). My problem, is that when I su to root, a .xauth file is created with a random tail name - i.e. /root/.xauthyN4aHS or /root/.xauth1sGdFh and this causes tripwire to

Hello, I have a strange (for me) problem with these two machines : - Client, a CentOS-5.7 workstation ; - Server, a CentOS-6.2 headless, up-to-date server. From Client, I want to use xauth on Server with the help of rsh (yes, I know, ssh and all this sort of things... another time.) When SELinux is in permissive mode on Server, all these commands perform as expected : rsh Server

I still don't understand the point of authenticating myself to my own local X server when using X11 forwarding, I tried: ssh -R /tmp/.X11-unix/X0:/tmp/.X11-unix/X0 user at server # and then DISPLAY=:0 xterm and everything is working fine without the mess with xauth, so why it is required to use use xauth when doing X11 forwarding with ssh?

Hi all. I'm trying to use ssh to connect from a PC (using TerraTerm with the ssh add-in) to a Solaris 8 or Solaris 9 box (both running OpenSSH 3.7.1p2) to establish a session for X-forwarding. Everything works great, until I use "su" to change to another account (such as root). The su'd user doesn't seem to be able to authenticate properly to use the X-tunnel. I did a

I have 2 labs I have to maintain. The first is a Windows-based lab, and the second is a Linux-based lab. I'm trying to combine the user accounts to make everything easier... here's what I have so far: The Linux test machine has Samba 3 installed on Fedora Core 1, with winbind and pam_mount. Pam_mount automatically maps the home directory, and everything works perfectly when I log in

Hi All, I have a query.. How to build the sshd_config file with all the possible parameters set to their default values.? For eg: When I compile any version of Openssh and run make install, the sshd_config file that gets copied to the directory specified by "--sysconfigdir=" flag does not contain the parameter "XAuthLocation" at all Whereas the sshd_config.5 man file
