Descriptions

DenyHosts 2.5 does not properly parse sshd log files, which allows remote attackers to add arbitrary hosts to the /etc/hosts.deny file and cause a denial of service by adding arbitrary IP addresses to the sshd log file, as demonstrated by logging in via ssh with a login name containing certain strings with an IP address, which is not properly handled by a regular expression.

DenyHosts 2.5 no realiza un análisis sintáctico adecuado de los ficheros de log de sshd, lo cual permite a atacantes remotos añadir hosts de su elección al fichero /etc/hosts.deny y provocar una denegación de servicio añadiendo direcciones IP de su elección al fichero de log de sshd; como se ha demostrado accediendo por ssh utilizando un nombre de acceso que contiene ciertas cadenas con una dirección IP, lo cual no es tratado adecuadamente por una expresión regular.
