Do to bugs CVE-2016-0777, CVE-2016-0778 with need to upgrade our OpenSSH Client on all machines to version 7.1p2-1, or add the line “UseRoaming no” to OpenSSH Client config files. you can check details here cyberciti.biz or digitalocean

0. Find the configuration file(s) that your ssh client uses

In a Mac OS with openssh installed via homebrew, besides /Users/you/.ssh/config, ssh client will read /usr/local/etc/ssh/ssh_config. So you sould ssh to a trusted host and check it out.

~# ssh -v localhost

OpenSSH_7.1p2, OpenSSL 1.0.2e 3 Dec 2015
debug1: Reading configuration data /home/you/.ssh/config
debug1: Reading configuration data /etc/ssh/ssh_config

1. On Linux and FreeBSD

Run this command to add the new line to your config:

~# echo "Host *"        | sudo tee -a /etc/ssh/ssh_config
~# echo "UseRoaming no" | sudo tee -a /etc/ssh/ssh_config

2. On Mac OSX

Run this command to add the new line to your config:

~# echo "Host *" 	    >> /etc/ssh_config
~# echo "UseRoaming no" >> /etc/ssh_config

3. Just for current user on Linux / FreeBSD / Mac OS X do this

~$ echo "Host *" 		>> ~/.ssh/config
~$ echo "    UseRoaming no" >> ~/.ssh/config

4. To upgrade via packages on Arch Linux

With pacman upgrade OpenSSH Client to desired version “7.1p2-1”

~# pacman -Sy openssh

5. To upgrade via packages on Debian / Ubuntu hosts

With apt-get upgrade OpenSSH Client to desired version “7.1p2-1”

~# apt-get clean && apt-get update && apt-get install --reinstall -y openssh-client openssh-server

5.1 Some Old Debian hosts has this issue

~# apt-get install grep openssh-client openssh-server

    Reading package lists... Done
    Building dependency tree       
    Reading state information... Done
    
    openssh-client is already the newest version.
    openssh-client set to manually installed.
    You might want to run 'apt-get -f install' to correct these:
    The following packages have unmet dependencies:
    openssh-server : Depends: openssh-client (= 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u2)
    
    E: Unmet dependencies. Try 'apt-get -f install' with no packages (or specify a solution).

5.2 Fix debconf first

Fix debconf installation first, in my case debconf version is 1.5.49

~# DEBCONF_VERSION=$(dpkg -l | grep " debconf " | awk '{print $3}')
~# wget http://ftp.us.debian.org/debian/pool/main/d/debconf/debconf_"${DEBCONF_VERSION}"_all.deb
~# dpkg -i debconf_"${DEBCONF_VERSION}"_all.deb

~# apt-get install grep openssh-client openssh-server
~# dpkg -l | grep openssh

    ii  openssh-client                       1:6.0p1-4+deb7u3                  amd64        secure shell (SSH) client, for secure access to remote machines
    
    ii  openssh-server                       1:6.0p1-4+deb7u3                  amd64        secure shell (SSH) server, for secure access from remote machines

5.3 Or in last case try a manual install

Try manually installing OpenSSH client with dpkg

~# dpkg -i /var/cache/apt/archives/openssh-client*.deb

6. Upgrade OpenSSH Client via Ansible

Create a playbook named openssh.yml and run ansible-playbook to update Package on all Debian and Ubuntu nodes

~# cat openssh.yml

    - hosts: all
    gather_facts: yes
    
    tasks:
        - name: Update OpenSSH (Debian+Ubuntu)
        apt: name=
            state=latest
            update_cache=yes
        with_items:
            - openssh-client
            - openssh-server
            - openssh-blacklist
            - openssh-blacklist-extra
            - ncurses-term
            
    post_tasks:
        - name: Check Restart
        command: checkrestart


~# ansible-playbook -i ansible_hosts openssh.yml

7. Upgrade OpenSSH Client via Homebrew

Install openssh via homebrew on Mac OS X laptop.

Besides ssh you should rename and create symlinks to the new scp, sftp, slogin, ssh-add, ssh-agent, ssh-keygen and ssh-keyscan binaries located in /usr/local/Cellar/openssh/7.1p2/bin/

~$ brew search openssh
~$ brew install homebrew/dupes/openssh
~$ sudo mv /usr/bin/ssh /usr/bin/ssh_old
~$ sudo ln -s /usr/local/Cellar/openssh/7.1p2/bin/ssh /usr/bin/ssh

8. Finally check your version

It should apear something like this ;-)

~$ ssh -V
