Package : libssh
CVE ID : CVE-2023-6004 CVE-2023-6918 CVE-2023-48795
Debian Bug : 1059004 1059059 1059061
Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libssh, a tiny C SSH library.
CVE-2023-6004
It was reported that using the ProxyCommand or the ProxyJump feature
may allow an attacker to inject malicious code through specially
crafted hostnames.
CVE-2023-6918
Jack Weinstein reported that missing checks for return values for
digests may result in denial of service (application crashes) or
usage of uninitialized memory.
CVE-2023-48795
Fabian Baeumer, Marcus Brinkmann and Joerg Schwenk discovered that
the SSH protocol is prone to a prefix truncation attack, known as
the "Terrapin attack". This attack allows a MITM attacker to effect
a limited break of the integrity of the early encrypted SSH
transport protocol by sending extra messages prior to the
commencement of encryption, and deleting an equal number of
consecutive messages immediately after encryption starts.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed
in version 0.9.8-0+deb11u1.
For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in
version 0.10.6-0+deb12u1.
We recommend that you upgrade your libssh packages.

### Summary Russh v0.40.1 and earlier is vulnerable to a novel prefix truncation attack (a.k.a. Terrapin attack), which allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to strip an arbitrary number of messages right after the initial key exchange, breaking SSH extension negotiation (RFC8308) in the process and thus downgrading connection security. ### Mitigations To mitigate this protocol vulnerability, OpenSSH suggested a so-called "strict kex" which alters the SSH handshake to ensure a Man-in-the-Middle attacker cannot introduce unauthenticated messages as well as convey sequence number manipulation across handshakes. Support for strict key exchange has been added to Russh in the patched version. **Warning: To take effect, both the client and server must support this countermeasure.** As a stop-gap measure, peers may also (temporarily) disable the affected algorithms and use unaffected alternatives like AES-GCM instead until patches are available. ### Details The SSH specifications of Ch...
