Debian LTS DLA-3839-1 Critical: Putty ECDSA Key Compromise Risk

You need JavaScript enabled to view it. https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Bastien Roucariès June 20, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : putty Version : 0.74-1+deb11u1~deb10u2 CVE ID : CVE-2024-31497 A biased ECDSA nonce generation allowed an attacker to recover a user's NIST P-521 secret key via a quick attack in approximately 60 signatures. In other words, an adversary may already have enough signature information to compromise a victim's private key, even if there is no further use of vulnerable PuTTY versions. This allowed an attacker to (for instance) log in to any servers the victim uses that key for. To obtain these signatures, an attacker need only briefly compromise any server the victim uses the key to authenticate to. Therefore, if you have any NIST-P521 ECDSA key, we strongly recommend you to replace it with a freshly new created with a fixed version of putty. Then, to revoke the old public key and remove it from any machine where you use it to login into, so that a signature from the compromised key has no value any more. The only affected key type is 521-bit ECDSA. That is, a key that appears in Windows PuTTYgen with ecdsa-sha2-nistp521 at the start of the 'Key fingerprint' box, or is described as 'NIST p521', or has an id starting ecdsa-sha2-nistp521 in the SSH protocol or the key file. Other sizes of ECDSA, and other key algorithms, are unaffected. In particular, Ed25519 is not affected. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.74-1+deb11u1~deb10u2. Werecommend that you upgrade your putty packages. For the detailed security status of putty please refer to its security tracker page at: https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/source-package/putty Further information about Debian LTS security advisories, how to apply these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be found at: https://wiki.debian.org/LTS .

Debian LTS DLA-3794-1 Critical: Putty SSH Threat Remediation

Putty, a Telnet/SSH client for X, was vulnerable. CVE-2019-17069 . - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian LTS Advisory DLA-3794-1 This email address is being protected from spambots. You need JavaScript enabled to view it. https://www.debian.org/lts/security/ Bastien Roucariès April 25, 2024 https://wiki.debian.org/LTS - ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Package : putty Version : 0.74-1+deb11u1~deb10u1 CVE ID : CVE-2019-17069 CVE-2020-14002 CVE-2021-36367 CVE-2023-48795 Debian Bug : 990901 Putty, a Telnet/SSH client for X, was vulnerable. CVE-2019-17069 PuTTY allowed remote SSH-1 servers to cause a denial of service by accessing freed memory locations via an SSH1_MSG_DISCONNECT message. CVE-2020-14002 PuTTY had an Observable Discrepancy leading to an information leak in the algorithm negotiation. This allowed man-in-the-middle attackers to target initial connection attempts (where no host key for the server has been cached by the client). CVE-2021-36367 PuTTY proceeded with establishing an SSH session even if it has never sent a substantive authentication response. This made it easier for an attacker-controlled SSH server to present a later spoofed authentication prompt (that the attacker can use to capture credential data, and use that data for purposes that are undesired by the client user). CVE-2023-48795 PuTTY was vulnerable to Terrapin attack. The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, allowed remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled. This occurs because the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and mishandles use of sequence numbers. Forexample, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305 and (if CBC is used) the -etm MAC algorithms. For Debian 10 buster, this problem has been fixed in version 0.74-1+deb11u1~deb10u1. We recommend that you upgrade your putty packages.
