DESCRIPTION:
A vulnerability has been reported in multiple SSH Tectia products,
which potentially can be exploited by malicious people to disclose
sensitive information.
The vulnerability is caused due to an error when handling errors
within an SSH session encrypted with a block cipher algorithm in the
CBC (Cipher-Block Chaining) mode. This can be exploited to
potentially disclose up to 32 plaintext bits from an arbitrary block
of ciphertext.
NOTE: An attack has a low probability of success, an attempt
resulting in the termination of the current SSH session.
Successful exploitation requires that an attacker is able to read and
alter network data.
The vulnerability affects the following products:
* SSH Tectia Client, Server, and ConnectSecure 6.0.4 and older in the
6.x series
* SSH Tectia Client, Server, and Connector 5.3.x versions 5.3.8 and
prior
* SSH Tectia Client, Server, and Connector 5.x versions 5.2.4 and
prior
* SSH Tectia Client, Server, and Connector 4.x versions 4.4.11 and
prior
* SSH Tectia Server for Linux on IBM System z 6.0.4
* SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS 6.0.1 and 6.0.0
* SSH Tectia Server for IBM z/OS 5.5.1 and prior
* SSH Tectia Client 4.3.3-J (Japanese) and prior in the 4.x-J series
* SSH Tectia Client 4.3.10-K (Korean) and prior in the 4.x-K series
SOLUTION:
Update to a fixed version.
