Severity: critical
CVSS 3.1: 9.1 (critical) CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:N
Affected versions:
- Apache MINA SSHD 1.2.0 before 2.20.0
- Apache MINA SSHD 3.0.0-M1 before 3.0.0-M6
Description:
A missing check in LdapPasswordAuthenticator in component sshd-ldap in Apache
MINA SSHD versions 1.2.0 to 2.19.0 or 3.0.0-M1 to 3.0.0-M5 bypassed
authentication checks.
Apache MINA SSHD is a Java library for client-side and server-side SSH. The
optional sshd-ldap component provides support for integrating password and
publickey authentication on the server side with an LDAP server.
sshd-ldap is an optional component. SSH servers implemented with Apache MINA
SSHD are affected only if they use sshd-ldap and do configure an
LdapPasswordAuthenticator to be used for password authentication. Normal
password authentication via the built-in mechanisms in sshd-core is _not_
affected by this vulnerability, which concerns only LdapPasswordAuthenticator.
Users are recommended to upgrade affected applications to version 2.20.0 or
3.0.0-M6, which fix this issue.
