CVE-2000-0575

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

SSH 1.2.27 with Kerberos authentication support stores Kerberos tickets in a file created in the current directory of the user logging in. This could allow remote attackers to sniff the ticket cache if the home directory is installed on NFS.

Risk Assessment

The risk to the organization is the potential for remote attackers to capture Kerberos tickets, which could lead to unauthorized access to resources.

Recommendation

It is recommended to upgrade to a newer version of SSH that does not store tickets in the user's current directory and to secure home directories against remote access.
