asyncssh 2.14.0 vulnerabilities

Known vulnerabilities in the asyncssh package. This does not include vulnerabilities belonging to this package’s dependencies.

Vulnerability	Vulnerable Version
M Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay during the establishment of the secure channel. An attacker can manipulate handshake sequence numbers to delete messages sent immediately after the channel is established. Note: Sequence numbers are only validated once the channel is established and arbitrary messages are allowed during the handshake, allowing them to manipulate the sequence numbers. The potential consequences of the general Terrapin attack are dependent on the messages exchanged after the handshake concludes. If you are using a custom SSH service and do not resort to the authentication protocol, you should check that dropping the first few messages of a connection does not yield security risks. Impact: While cryptographically novel, there is no discernable impact on the integrity of SSH traffic beyond giving the attacker the ability to delete the message that enables some features related to keystroke timing obfuscation. To successfully carry out the exploitation, the connection needs to be protected using either the `ChaCha20-Poly1305` or `CBC` with `Encrypt-then-MAC` encryption methods. The attacker must also be able to intercept and modify the connection's traffic. How to fix Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay? Upgrade `asyncssh` to version 2.14.2 or higher.	[,2.14.2)
H Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor during the `SSH client` session. This allows the attacker to control the remote end of the SSH session, receiving all keyboard input by the user, completely controlling the terminal output of the user's session, sending and receiving data to/from forwarded network ports, and creating signatures with a forwarded SSH Agent, if any. How to fix Exposure of Private Personal Information to an Unauthorized Actor? Upgrade `asyncssh` to version 2.14.1 or higher.	[,2.14.1)
M Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value. An attacker can exploit an implementation flaw in the AsyncSSH implementation to inject an extension info message chosen by the attacker and delete the original extension info message, effectively replacing it. Note: AsyncSSH supports the `server-sig-algs` and `global-requests-ok` extensions. Hence, the attacker can downgrade the algorithm used for client authentication by meddling with the value of `server-sig-algs`. How to fix Improper Validation of Integrity Check Value? Upgrade `asyncssh` to version 2.14.1 or higher.	[,2.14.1)

Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay

Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Authentication Bypass by Capture-replay during the establishment of the secure channel. An attacker can manipulate handshake sequence numbers to delete messages sent immediately after the channel is established.

Note:

Sequence numbers are only validated once the channel is established and arbitrary messages are allowed during the handshake, allowing them to manipulate the sequence numbers.
The potential consequences of the general Terrapin attack are dependent on the messages exchanged after the handshake concludes. If you are using a custom SSH service and do not resort to the authentication protocol, you should check that dropping the first few messages of a connection does not yield security risks.

Impact:

While cryptographically novel, there is no discernable impact on the integrity of SSH traffic beyond giving the attacker the ability to delete the message that enables some features related to keystroke timing obfuscation. To successfully carry out the exploitation, the connection needs to be protected using either the ChaCha20-Poly1305 or CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC encryption methods.
