What it is about

OpenSSH ist eine Open Source Implementierung des Secure Shell Protokolls. Ein entfernter, anonymer Angreifer kann mehrere Schwachstellen in OpenSSH ausnutzen, um Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen, um einen Denial of Service herbeizufürhen oder seine Rechte auszuweiten.

Under what conditions?

Over the network and without logging in. This is the most dangerous combination: attackers can scan reachable devices automatically.

What can happen in the worst case

An attacker could use the vulnerability to

  • Sicherheitsvorkehrungen zu umgehen
  • einen Denial of Service herbeizufürhen oder seine Rechte auszuweiten

Am I affected?

Affected according to the BSI:

  • Red Hat Enterprise Linux
  • Fedora Linux
  • Ubuntu Linux
  • Open Source OpenSSH <10.6p1
  • Open Source OpenSSH <=10.6

The installed version is usually shown under “Help → About” or in the device’s admin interface.

What helps?

Update to at least:

  • Open Source OpenSSH 10.6p1
  • Open Source OpenSSH <=10.6

Is the vulnerability already being exploited?

None of the CVEs is in the CISA catalogue of exploited vulnerabilities. That does not mean there are no attacks, only that none are documented.
