[2.3.0] Checkmk Werk 17148 adapted: Persist known host keys for checks that use SSH

Werk 17148 was adapted. The following is the new Werk, a diff is shown at the end of the message. [//]: # (werk v2) # Persist known host keys for checks that use SSH key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-08-26T08:56:04+00:00 version | 2.3.0p15 class | security edition | cre component | checks level | 1 compatible | yes When using the special agent *VNX quotas and filesystems* or the active check *Check SFTP Service* the host keys were not properly checked. If an attacker would get into a machine-in-the-middle position he could intercept the connection and retrieve information e.g. passwords. As of this Werk the host key check is properly done. In order to store known host keys a regular `known_hosts` file is used that is stored in `/omd/sites/$SITENAME/.ssh/known_hosts`. If a host key changes an error is now raised that requires manual edit of this file. This issue was found during internal review. *Affected Versions*: * 2.3.0 * 2.2.0 * 2.1.0 * 2.0.0 (EOL) *Vulnerability Management*: We have rated the issue with a CVSS Score of 6.3 Medium CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:L/SA:N and assigned CVE-2024-6572. ------------------------------------<diff>------------------------------------------- [//]: # (werk v2) # Persist known host keys for checks that use SSH key | value ---------- | --- date | 2024-08-26T08:56:04+00:00 - version | 2.3.0p14 ? ^ + version | 2.3.0p15 ? ^ class | security edition | cre component | checks level | 1 compatible | yes When using the special agent *VNX quotas and filesystems* or the active check *Check SFTP Service* the host keys were not properly checked.
