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 found that the OpenSSH client did not properly enforce the
ForwardX11Timeout setting. A malicious or compromised remote X application
could possibly use this flaw to establish a trusted connection to the local
X server, even if only untrusted X11 forwarding was requested.
(CVE-2015-5352)
* A flaw was found in the way OpenSSH handled PAM authentication when using
privilege separation. An attacker with valid credentials on the system and
able to fully compromise a non-privileged pre-authentication process using
a different flaw could use this flaw to authenticate as other users.
(CVE-2015-6563)
* A use-after-free flaw was found in OpenSSH. An attacker able to fully
compromise a non-privileged pre-authentication process using a different
flaw could possibly cause sshd to crash or execute arbitrary code with root
privileges. (CVE-2015-6564)
* An access flaw was discovered in OpenSSH; the OpenSSH client did not
correctly handle failures to generate authentication cookies for untrusted
X11 forwarding. A malicious or compromised remote X application could
possibly use this flaw to establish a trusted connection to the local X
server, even if only untrusted X11 forwarding was requested.
(CVE-2016-1908)
For detailed information on changes in this release, see the Red Hat
Enterprise Linux 6.8 Release Notes and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6.8
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:

restarted automatically.
5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):
1211673 - [RFE] Backport Match LocalAddress from OpenSSH 6.1 (and later)
1218070 - ECDSA host key not loaded by sshd by default (inconsistent with man page)
1219820 - Lack of clarity of Match block processing and RequiredAuthentications2 limitation
1238231 - CVE-2015-5352 openssh: XSECURITY restrictions bypass under certain conditions in ssh(1)
1252844 - CVE-2015-6563 openssh: Privilege separation weakness related to PAM support
1252852 - CVE-2015-6564 openssh: Use-after-free bug related to PAM support
1298741 - CVE-2016-1908 openssh: possible fallback from untrusted to trusted X11 forwarding
