CVE-2020-14145 MEDIUM

Published: 2020-06-29 | Last Modified: 2025-12-18 | Status: Modified

Description

The client side in OpenSSH 5.7 through 8.4 has an Observable Discrepancy leading to an information leak in the algorithm negotiation. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to target initial connection attempts (where no host key for the server has been cached by the client). NOTE: some reports state that 8.5 and 8.6 are also affected.

Additional Descriptions (1)

El lado del cliente en OpenSSH versiones 5.7 hasta 8.4, presenta una Discrepancia Observable que conlleva a una filtración de información en la negociación del algoritmo. Esto permite a atacantes de tipo man-in-the-middle apuntar a unos intentos iniciales de conexión (donde ninguna clave de host para el servidor ha sido almacenada en caché por parte del cliente) NOTA: algunos informes afirman que las versiones 8.5 y 8.6 también están afectadas.
