It might not be the worst issue ever, true, but it somehow doesnt sound right to me starting a user ssh-agent with gid 0. Sebastian On Mon, Jun 06, 2011 at 02:03:07PM -0400, Josh Bressers wrote:
----- Original Message -----Hi, In certain configs, pam_ssh is not completely dropping its privileges to user. It just forgets to call setgid() and initgroups(). A fix can be found at [1]. Can someone assign a CVE? thx, Sebastian [1] https://bugzilla.novell.com/show_bug.cgi?id=665061Is this a security flaw? From doing a little ssh-agent research, it sounds harmless without another flaw. I'm not terribly familiar with it though, so I could be missing something. Thanks. -- JB
