SUSE SLES12 Security Update : openssh (SUSE-SU-2021:3951-1)

The remote SUSE Linux SLES12 / SLES_SAP12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the SUSE-SU-2021:3951-1 advisory.

  • sshd in OpenSSH 6.2 through 8.x before 8.8, when certain non-default configurations are used, allows privilege escalation because supplemental groups are not initialized as expected. Helper programs for AuthorizedKeysCommand and AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand may run with privileges associated with group memberships of the sshd process, if the configuration specifies running the command as a different user.
    (CVE-2021-41617)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
