Due to the way the pam_ssh_agent_auth PAM module was built in Red Hat
Enterprise 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 Red Hat Enterprise
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. (BZ#821641)
* 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. (BZ#826720)
* 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. (BZ#836650)
* 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. (BZ#836655)
* 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. (BZ#857760)
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 t ...
