TITLE: SSRT2263 HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1a - SSH V1.1 & OpenSSH Challenge
Response Handling, Potential Security Vulnerability
NOTICE: There are no restrictions for distribution of this
Bulletin provided that it remains complete and intact.
RELEASE DATE: 3 July, 2002
SEVERITY: 2
SOURCE: Compaq Computer Corporation,

Hewlett-Packard Company and
Hewlett-Packard Company HP Services
Software Security Response Team
REFERENCE: CERT CA-2002-18
PROBLEM SUMMARY:
Compaq has been following the OpenSSH remote vulnerability
that was announced June 26, 2002 and have determined that
this issue is specific to OpenSSH and does not impact
SSH V1.1 distributed with HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1a.
HP Tru64 Unix V5.1a - SSH V1.1 implementation is not based
on the OpenSSH product. The issue described in this recent
OpenSSH advisory is in the challenge response phase of S/Key
or BSD_Auth authentication processes. HP Tru64 UNIX V5.1a
- SSH V1.1 implementation uses SIA for its password
authentication and does not support S/Key. Our conclusion
is based on the additional information that was released by
the ISS X-Force and information provided by openssh.org
( http://www.openssh.com/ ) regarding this vulnerability.
VERSIONS IMPACTED:
o OpenSSH versions 2.3.1p1 through 3.3
o HP 9000 Servers running HP-UX release 11.00, and 11.11 only
with the T1471AA SSH product installed. Please refer to the
HP Security Bulletin HPSBUX0206-195, Sec. Vulnerability in
OpenSSH on HP-UX available on http://itrc.hp.com in the
Support Digests, under Archives.
NOT Impacted:
o HP Tru64 Unix V5.1a - SSH V1.1
o HP NonStop Servers
o HP OpenVMS
RESOLUTION:
For customers using OpenSSH V2.9.9 and V3.3 on HP Tru64 Unix
systems, HP recommends that you follow the procedures listed
in the OpenSSH security advisory at web site
http://www.openssh.com/ to correct the potential vulnerability.
