Package : openssh
CVE ID : CVE-2021-41617 CVE-2023-28531 CVE-2023-48795 CVE-2023-51384
CVE-2023-51385
Debian Bug : 995130 1033166

Several vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSH, an
implementation of the SSH protocol suite.

CVE-2021-41617

It was discovered that sshd failed to correctly initialise  
supplemental groups when executing an AuthorizedKeysCommand or  
AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand, where a AuthorizedKeysCommandUser or  
AuthorizedPrincipalsCommandUser directive has been set to run the  
command as a different user. Instead these commands would inherit  
the groups that sshd was started with.

CVE-2023-28531

Luci Stanescu reported that a error prevented constraints being  
communicated to the ssh-agent when adding smartcard keys to the  
agent with per-hop destination constraints, resulting in keys being  
added without constraints.

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.

Details can be found at https://terrapin-attack.com/

CVE-2023-51384

It was discovered that when PKCS#11-hosted private keys were  
added while specifying destination constraints, if the PKCS#11  
token returned multiple keys then only the first key had the  
constraints applied.

CVE-2023-51385

It was discovered that if an invalid user or hostname that contained  
shell metacharacters was passed to ssh, and a ProxyCommand,  
LocalCommand directive or "match exec" predicate referenced the user  
or hostname via expansion tokens, then an attacker who could supply  
arbitrary user/hostnames to ssh could potentially perform command  
injection. The situation could arise in case of git repositories  
with submodules, where the repository could contain a submodule with  
shell characters in its user or hostname.

For the oldstable distribution (bullseye), these problems have been fixed
in version 1:8.4p1-5+deb11u3.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.

GHSA-45x7-px36-x8w8: Russh vulnerable to Prefix Truncation Attack against ChaCha20-Poly1305 and Encrypt-then-MAC

### 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...
