I see that this is a CentOS 7 patch only, at least so far. I also see that the CentOS 6 ssh version is 5.3 > /usr/bin/ssh -V OpenSSH_5.3p1, OpenSSL 1.0.1e-fips 11 Feb 2013 which is supposedly not affected. However, strings indicates that /usr/bin/ssh is also aware for the useroaming configuration option: > strings /usr/bin/ssh | grep -i useroam useroaming Is it actually known that the ssh version shipped with CentOS 6 is not vulnerable, or is it just assumed based on the version number? The announcement implies that the roaming code itself was added in 5.4, not just that a default was changed, but if that’s really true, why is that string in the binary?
Noam
P.S. I do realize this is a question better directed to RedHat, but I’m hoping someone here might still know.
