description

Apache MINA SSHD sshd-ldap can incorrectly accept LDAP password authentication because LdapPasswordAuthenticator omits a required check. An attacker may bypass authentication against an affected SSH service when the optional sshd-ldap component is installed and configured to use LdapPasswordAuthenticator for password logins. Built-in sshd-core password authentication is not affected.

mitigation

Upgrade sshd-ldap to version 2.20.0 or 3.0.0-M6. Until upgraded, remove or disable LdapPasswordAuthenticator-based LDAP password authentication on affected SSH servers.

fixed in 2.20.0, 3.0.0-M6
