Description
This security bulletin contains information about 2 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Inadequate encryption strength (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-48795)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform MitM attack.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect implementation of the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), which mishandles the handshake phase and the use of sequence numbers. A remote attacker can perform MitM attack and delete the SSH2_MSG_EXT_INFO message sent before authentication starts, allowing the attacker to disable a subset of the keystroke timing obfuscation features introduced in OpenSSH 9.5.
The vulnerability was dubbed "Terrapin attack" and it affects both client and server implementations.
2) NULL pointer dereference (CVE-ID: CVE-2023-49083)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
The vulnerability exists due to a NULL pointer dereference error when calling the load_pem_pkcs7_certificates() or load_der_pkcs7_certificates() functions. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted PKCS7 blob/certificate certificate to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
