1. Summary:

Updated openssh packages that fix two security issues are now available for
Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate security
impact. Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base scores, which give
detailed severity ratings, are available for each vulnerability from the
CVE links in the References section.

3. Description:

OpenSSH is OpenBSD's SSH (Secure Shell) protocol implementation.
These packages include the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH client
and server.

An information leak flaw was found in the way the OpenSSH client roaming
feature was implemented. A malicious server could potentially use this flaw
to leak portions of memory (possibly including private SSH keys) of a
successfully authenticated OpenSSH client. (CVE-2016-0777)

A buffer overflow flaw was found in the way the OpenSSH client roaming
feature was implemented. A malicious server could potentially use this flaw
to execute arbitrary code on a successfully authenticated OpenSSH client if
that client used certain non-default configuration options. (CVE-2016-0778)

Red Hat would like to thank Qualys for reporting these issues.

All openssh users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain backported patches to correct these issues. After installing this
update, the OpenSSH server daemon (sshd) will be restarted automatically.

4. Solution:

Before applying this update, make sure all previously released errata
relevant to your system have been applied.

For details on how to apply this update, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1298032 - CVE-2016-0777 OpenSSH: Client Information leak due to use of roaming connection feature
