Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59935
Category:Mandrake Local Security Checks
Title:Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2007:236 (openssh)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to openssh
announced via advisory MDKSA-2007:236.

A flaw in OpenSSH prior to 4.7 prevented ssh from properly handling
when an untrusted cookie could not be created and used a trusted X11
cookie instead, which could allow attackers to violate intended policy
and gain privileges by causing an X client to be treated as trusted.

The updated packages have been patched to correct these issue.

Affected: 2007.0, 2007.1, Corporate 3.0, Corporate 4.0,
Multi Network Firewall 2.0

Solution:
To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification
of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you.
