Bugtraq: Re: Kerberos security vulnerability in SSH-1.2.27

[carson () TLA ORG (Carson Gaspar)]

<sigh> I patched kerberos support in a previous SSH 1.2.x release, but it
never made it back into the source. The whole ticket handling disaster
should be ripped out and re-done. Assuming KRB5CCNAME contains "FILE:blah"
and unlinking whatever is after FILE: is _very_ _bad_.

If anyone cares, the patches are on the CD that comes with the SSH book, and
should be easily forward portable. They were quick fixes for the _obviously_
bad things, and should probably be audited more thoroughly.
