| 2016-01-14 22:01:10 | Kees Cook | description | Brute force attacks against openssh on Trusty will not log "max auth" key-based attempts, leaving their brute forcing invisible to the logs and anything that consumes logs, like fail2ban. Version 6.7 introduced the logging, but it's missing in Trusty. Since Trusty is LTS, it would seem sensible to have this feature backported. | Brute force attacks against openssh on Trusty will not log "max auth" key-based attempts, leaving their brute forcing invisible to the logs and anything that consumes logs, like fail2ban. Version 6.7 introduced the logging, but it's missing in Trusty. Since Trusty is LTS, it would seem sensible to have this feature backported. [Impact] Bruce force attempts using private keys are invisible to logs, which renders defenses like fail2ban useless. [Test case] Create 20 SSH keys, try to log in over SSH, note lack of logging the failures. [Regression Potential] Very unlikely regression potential as the "max auth" condition is already handled in code, it just wasn't logging. The change only adds the missing logging. | |
