AW: openssh/ssl update probleme

[Thomas May]

Ok, I found a solution.

As I told with the 5.2.1 freebsd isoimage, openssh 3.6.1p1 and openssl 0.97c
has been installed. (old versions on cd)

I just install the openssh-portable port (the openssh port is the old one),
and the new version are installed.
But the new sshd is not in /usr/sbin, it is in /usr/local/sbin

I renamed /usr/sbin/sshd into ssh.old, I comment out in /etc/rc.conf the
Sshd_enable line, and start it from /usr/local/etc/rc.d

Now nessus don’t show me any hole and I get with sshd -V the correct
version.

Iam using freebsd since 2 years ...

Right.

All of the known holes were patched at the time of release.  There are
FreeBSD-specific additions to the version banner in order to
differentiate it from the original OpenSSH releases in which the
security issues existed.  To the best of my knowledge, no new security
issues have come up in either openssh or openssl since FreeBSD 5.2.1
was released.

In other words, you probably do *not* have any security holes in
either one.

That isn't specific enough for me to help you with.

It sounds as though /usr/bin comes before /usr/local/bin on your path,
so if you just type "ssh" you will get the old version.  Try
"/usr/local/bin/ssh -V" and you will probably see the version number
for the ssh installed from ports.

Since you apparently aren't acquainted with the idea of a search path,
you probably should start by getting up to speed on Unix before trying
to deal with security topics; you are likely to make things worse
rather than better.  An excellent starting place is
http://www.freebsd.org/projects/newbies.html#fbsd
particularly the "For People New to Both FreeBSD and Unix" tutorial.

Good luck.
