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.

Bugs

Notes

Author Note
Priority reason: Cannot be reproduced on Ubuntu since sshd drops groups early
seth-arnold openssh-ssh1 is provided for compatibility with old devices that cannot be upgraded to modern protocols. Thus we may not provide security support for this package if doing so would prevent access to equipment.
mdeslaur Only applies to non-default configurations where AuthorizedKeysCommand or AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand are used.
sespiros Cannot reproduce since sshd for all releases drops supplementary groups early when it starts with setgroups(0, NULL).
