=====================================================================

1. Summary:

An update for openssh is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 7.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact
of Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

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 7.3 Release 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.

5. Bugs fixed (https://bugzilla.redhat.com/):

1237129 - sshd -T does not output authenticationmethods with default value
1291172 - systemctl restart/start sshd shows no error if start fails
1310303 - remove GLOB_LIMIT_STAT from OpenSSH
1312013 - rhpkg prep  fails on rhel-7.3 branch

1328243 - OpenSSH only looks for .k5login in user directory
1344614 - sftp -m modifies umask and breaks permissions on new directories
1349556 - ssh-copy-id not working when custom loglevel is quiet
1357859 - guest_t can run sudo
