Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains one high risk vulnerability.
1) Double Free
EUVDB-ID: #VU71771
Risk: High
CVSSv3.1: 7.3 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:P/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2023-25136
CWE-ID:
CWE-415 - Double Free
Exploit availability: Yes
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to potentially execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the sshd(8) daemon. A remote non-authenticated attacker can send specially crafted data to the application, trigger a double free error and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vendor believes exploitation of this vulnerability has limitations as double free occurs "in the unprivileged pre-auth process that is subject to chroot(2) and is further sandboxed on most major platforms". Nevertheless we assign a high risk to this vulnerability.
Install updates from vendor's repository.
