CVE-2016-10010 log

Source	CVE Red Hat MITRE NVD Debian Ubuntu SUSE Alpine Mageia CVE Details CIRCL Bugs Arch Linux Red Hat Gentoo SUSE GitHub Lists oss-security full-disclosure bugtraq Misc GitHub code web search
Severity	Medium
Remote	No
Type	Privilege escalation
Description	It was found that when privilege separation was disabled in OpenSSH, forwarded Unix-domain sockets would be created by sshd with root privileges instead of the privileges of the authenticated user. This could allow an authenticated attacker to potentially gain root privileges on the host system. Privileges separation has been enabled by default since OpenSSH 3.3/3.3p1 (2002-06-21). Thus, OpenSSH is not affected by default. An affected OpenSSH configuration would have to specifically disable privilege separation with the "UsePrivilegeSeparation no" configuration directive in /etc/ssh/sshd_config.
