3. Description:

OpenSSH is an SSH protocol implementation supported by a number of Linux,
UNIX, and similar operating systems. It includes the core files necessary
for both the OpenSSH client and server.

Security Fix(es):

* It was discovered that the OpenSSH sshd daemon fetched PAM environment
settings before running the login program. In configurations with
UseLogin=yes and the pam_env PAM module configured to read user environment
settings, a local user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as
root. (CVE-2015-8325)

Additional Changes:

For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.9 Release Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.9
Technical Notes linked from the References section.

4. Solution:

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes
described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

After installing this update, the OpenSSH server daemon (sshd) will be
restarted automatically.
