Ubuntu Security Notice USN-6242-1
July 24, 2023
openssh vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 23.04
- Ubuntu 22.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
Summary:
OpenSSH could be made to run programs as your login when using ssh-agent
forwarding.
Software Description:
- openssh: secure shell (SSH) for secure access to remote machines
Details:
It was discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled loading certain PKCS#11
providers. If a user forwarded their ssh-agent to an untrusted system, a
remote attacker could possibly use this issue to load arbitrary libraries
from the user's system and execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 23.04:
openssh-client 1:9.0p1-1ubuntu8.4
Ubuntu 22.04 LTS:
openssh-client 1:8.9p1-3ubuntu0.3
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
openssh-client 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.8
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
