A malicious server could potentially use this flaw to execute\narbitrary code on a successfully authenticated OpenSSH client if that client\nused certain non-default configuration options (CVE-2016-0778).\n\nThe issue only affects OpenSSH clients making use of the ProxyCommand feature.\nThis update disables the roaming feature completely.\n","modified":"2026-04-16T06:25:52.706345961Z","published":"2016-01-15T19:43:58Z","upstream":["CVE-2016-0777","CVE-2016-0778"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0022.html"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.mageia.org/show_bug.cgi?id=17494"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2016-0777"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=CVE-2016-0778"},{"type":"WEB","url":"http://www.openssh.com/security.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"openssh","ecosystem":"Mageia:5","purl":"pkg:rpm/mageia/openssh?arch=source&distro=mageia-5"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"6.6p1-5.6.mga5"}]}],"ecosystem_specific":{"section":"core"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://advisories.mageia.org/MGASA-2016-0022.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","credits":[{"name":"Mageia","contact":["https://wiki.mageia.org/en/Packages_Security_Team"],"type":"COORDINATOR"}]}
