Description

X11 man-in-the-middle attack: When attempting to bind(2) to a port that has previously been bound with SO_REUSEADDR set, most operating systems check that either the effective user-id matches the previous bind (common on BSD-derived systems) or that the bind addresses do not overlap. When the sshd_config(5) option X11UseLocalhost has been set to "no" - an attacker may establish a more-specific bind, which will be used in preference to sshd's wildcard listener. Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH: If exploited, this attack can potentially allow an attacker to recover up to 32 bits of plaintext from an arbitrary block of ciphertext from a connection secured using the SSH protocol in the standard configuration. If OpenSSH is used in the standard configuration, then the attacker's success probability for recovering 32 bits of plaintext is 2^{-18}. A variant of the attack against OpenSSH in the standard configuration can verifiably recover 14 bits of plaintext with probability 2^{-14}. The success probability of the attack for other implementations of SSH is not known.
