CVE-2016-10012 (opens in a new tab)How to fix?
Upgrade RHEL:7 openssh-askpass to version 0:7.4p1-11.el7 or higher.
This issue was patched in RHSA-2017:2029.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh-askpass package and not the openssh-askpass package as distributed by RHEL.
See How to fix? for RHEL:7 relevant fixed versions and status.
The shared memory manager (associated with pre-authentication compression) in sshd in OpenSSH before 7.4 does not ensure that a bounds check is enforced by all compilers, which might allows local users to gain privileges by leveraging access to a sandboxed privilege-separation process, related to the m_zback and m_zlib data structures.
