CVE-2011-0539

The key_certify function in usr.bin/ssh/key.c in OpenSSH 5.6 and 5.7, when generating legacy certificates using the -t command-line option in ssh-keygen, does not initialize the nonce field, which might allow remote attackers to obtain sensitive stack memory contents or make it easier to conduct hash collision attacks.

La función key_certify en usr.bin/ssh/key.c en OpenSSH v5.6 y v5.7 al generar los certificados de herencia con la opción de línea de comandos -t en ssh-keygen, no se inicializa el campo nonce, que podría permitir a atacantes remotos obtener contenido sensible de la pila de memoria o que sea más fácil de llevar a cabo ataques de colisión hash.
