SSH strongly recommends that you upgrade to the latest 1.4.1 (build 98) .
A vulnerability has been detected in the way SSH Sentinel handles the decoding of BER/DER encoded packets. BER/DER encoding is applied in digital certificates, which are used for authenticating a user in IKE negotiations. Certificates are also commonly used for authenticating SSL/TLS connections.
Using malformed BER/DER packets, the receiving host can potentially crash making a Denial-of-Service (DoS) attack possible.
The update can be downloaded at http://www.ssh.com/support/downloads/sentinel/updates-and-packages-1-4.html.
It requires a licensed version to already be installed for the update to work. |
