Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.703626
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DSA-3626-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'openssh' package(s) announced via the DSA-3626-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'openssh' package(s) announced via the DSA-3626-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Eddie Harari reported that the OpenSSH SSH daemon allows user enumeration through timing differences when trying to authenticate users. When sshd tries to authenticate a non-existing user, it will pick up a fixed fake password structure with a hash based on the Blowfish algorithm. If real users passwords are hashed using SHA256/SHA512, then a remote attacker can take advantage of this flaw by sending large passwords, receiving shorter response times from the server for non-existing users.

For the stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been fixed in version 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u3.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in version 1:7.2p2-6.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.

Affected Software/OS:
'openssh' package(s) on Debian 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
4.3
