TITLE:
Red Hat update for openssh

SECUNIA ADVISORY ID:
SA36866

VERIFY ADVISORY:
http://secunia.com/advisories/36866/

DESCRIPTION:
Red Hat has issued an update for openssh. This fixes a security
issue, which can be exploited by malicious, local users to gain
escalated privileges.

The security issue is caused due to weakened checks for the
directories passed via the "ChrootDirectory" configuration option,
which can be exploited to e.g. execute commands as another user.

Successful exploitation requires that the attacker is able to create
hardlinks to suid root applications outside the chroot, e.g. via
non-chrooted access.

SOLUTION:
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
Reported by the vendor.
