"Due to the way the pam_ssh_agent_auth PAM module was built in
Scientific Linux 6, the glibc's error() function was called rather
than the intended error() function in pam_ssh_agent_auth to report
errors. As these two functions expect different arguments, it was
possible for an attacker to cause an application using
pam_ssh_agent_auth to crash, disclose portions of its memory or,
potentially, execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2012-5536)

Note that the pam_ssh_agent_auth module is not used in Scientific
Linux 6 by default.

This update also fixes the following bugs :

  - All possible options for the new RequiredAuthentications
    directive were not documented in the sshd_config man
    page. This update improves the man page to document all
    the possible options.

  - When stopping one instance of the SSH daemon (sshd), the
    sshd init script (/etc/rc.d/init.d/sshd) stopped all
    sshd processes regardless of the PID of the processes.
    This update improves the init script so that it only
    kills processes with the relevant PID. As a result, the
    init script now works more reliably in a multi-instance
    environment.

  - Due to a regression, the ssh-copy-id command returned an
    exit status code of zero even if there was an error in
    copying the key to a remote host. With this update, a
    patch has been applied and ssh-copy-id now returns a
    non-zero exit code if there is an error in copying the
    SSH certificate to a remote host.

  - When SELinux was disabled on the system, no on-disk
    policy was installed, a user account was used for a
    connection, and no '~/.ssh' configuration was present in
    that user's home directory, the SSH client terminated
    unexpectedly with a segmentation fault when attempting
    to connect to another system. A patch has been provided
    to address this issue and the crashes no longer occur in
    the described scenario.

  - The 'HOWTO' document
    /usr/share/doc/openssh-ldap-5.3p1/HOWTO.ldap-keys
    incorrectly documented the use of the
    AuthorizedKeysCommand directive. This update corrects
    the document.

This update also adds the following enhancements :

  - When attempting to enable SSH for use with a Common
    Access Card (CAC), the ssh-agent utility read all the
    certificates in the card even though only the ID
    certificate was needed. Consequently, if a user entered
    their PIN incorrectly, then the CAC was locked, as a
    match for the PIN was attempted against all three
    certificates. With this update, ssh-add does not try the
    same PIN for every certificate if the PIN fails for the
    first one. As a result, the CAC will not be disabled if
    a user enters their PIN incorrectly.

  - This update adds a 'netcat mode' to SSH. The 'ssh -W
    host:port ...' command connects standard input and
    output (stdio) on a client to a single port on a server.
    As a result, SSH can be used to route connections via
    intermediate servers.

  - Due to a bug, arguments for the RequiredAuthentications2
    directive were not stored in a Match block.
    Consequently, parsing of the config file was not in
    accordance with the man sshd_config documentation. This
    update fixes the bug and users can now use the required
    authentication feature to specify a list of
    authentication methods as expected according to the man
    page.

After installing this update, the OpenSSH server daemon (sshd) will be
restarted automatically."
