This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.
1) Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls (CVE-ID: CVE-2014-2532)
CWE-ID: CWE-264 - Permissions, Privileges, and Access Controls
CVSSv4: 2.3 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:L/SI:L/SA:N]
The vulnerability allows a remote authenticated user to read and manipulate data.
sshd in OpenSSH before 6.6 does not properly support wildcards on AcceptEnv lines in sshd_config, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended environment restrictions by using a substring located before a wildcard character.
