CVE-2011-4190: Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop

Medium severity, CVSS 5.3. EPSS: 0.8% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.

The kdump implementation is missing the host key verification in the kdump and mkdumprd OpenSSH integration of kdump prior to version 2012-01-20. This is similar to CVE-2011-3588, but different in that the kdump implementation is specific to SUSE. A remote malicious kdump server could use this flaw to impersonate the correct kdump server to obtain security sensitive information (kdump core files).

Affected products

• Suse Suse Linux Enterprise Desktop: version 11 only
• Suse Suse Linux Enterprise Server: version 11 only; version 11.0 only
