Bug#444738: CVE-2007-4752 privilege escalation



Package: openssh
Severity: grave
Tags: security patch

Hi,
the following CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id was
published for openssh.

CVE-2007-4752[0]:
| ssh in OpenSSH before 4.7 does not properly handle when an untrusted
| cookie cannot be created and uses a trusted X11 cookie instead, which
| allows attackers to violate intended policy and gain privileges by
| causing an X client to be treated as trusted.

If you fix this vulnerability please also include the CVE id
in your changelog entry.

As far as I can see the fix for this issue is:
http://www.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/clientloop.c.diff?r1=1.180&r2=1.181
