Description Tomas Mraz 2005-02-11 14:21:31 UTC
Description of problem:
The ssh-keysign binary is setuid because it needs to read the system's sshd
private keys /etc/ssh/ssh_host_[dr]sa_key. It opens them and immediately drops
to the original uid. It reads /etc/ssh/ssh_config for options. Then it reads the
data which should be signed from STDIN and gets addres/name of a socket it
inherited. Then it verifies that the data passed to it are correct and signs
them  (using /dev/random through OpenSSL). The result is written to stdout.

To protect against revealing the ssh keys the selinux policy should be created.
It was suggested to me by Jakub.

Comment 1 Daniel Walsh 2005-03-24 23:43:45 UTC
Added policy to handle this in selinux-policy-strict-1.23.5-2
Not really sure how to test it though.
