ASA-201810-10: libssh: authentication bypass


Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201810-10
==========================================

Severity: Critical
Date : 2018-10-17
CVE-ID : CVE-2018-10933
Package : libssh
Type : authentication bypass
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-780

Summary
=======

The package libssh before version 0.8.4-1 is vulnerable to
authentication bypass.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 0.8.4-1.

# pacman -Syu "libssh>=0.8.4-1"

The problem has been fixed upstream in version 0.8.4.

Workaround
==========

None.

Description
===========

An authentication bypass vulnerability has been discovered in libssh
versions prior to 0.7.6 and 0.8.4, in the server-side state machine. By
presenting the server an SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS message in place of
the SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST message which the server would expect to
initiate authentication, the attacker could successfully authenticate
without any credentials, resulting in unauthorized access.

Impact
======

A remote attacker is able to successfully authenticate without any
credentials, resulting in unauthorized access.

ASA-201810-11: net-snmp: multiple issues


Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-201810-11
==========================================

Severity: High
Date : 2018-10-17
CVE-ID : CVE-2015-5621 CVE-2018-18065
Package : net-snmp
Type : multiple issues
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-777

Summary
=======

The package net-snmp before version 5.8-1 is vulnerable to multiple
issues including arbitrary code execution and denial of service.

Resolution
==========

Upgrade to 5.8-1.

# pacman -Syu "net-snmp>=5.8-1"

The problems have been fixed upstream in version 5.8.

Workaround
==========

None.

Description
===========

- CVE-2015-5621 (arbitrary code execution)

It was discovered that in net-snmp before 5.8 the snmp_pdu_parse()
function could leave incompletely parsed varBind variables in the list
of variables. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could use this flaw to
crash snmpd or potentially execute arbitrary code on the system with
the privileges of the user running snmpd.

- CVE-2018-18065 (denial of service)

A denial of service vulnerability has been discovered in net-snmp
before 5.8. The _set_key function in agent/helpers/table_container.c
has a NULL pointer exception bug that can be used by an authenticated
attacker to remotely cause the instance to crash via a crafted UDP
packet, resulting in denial of service.

Impact
======

A remote unauthenticated attacker is able to crash snmpd or potentially
execute arbitrary code on the system by sending specially crafted
packets.
