Subject: bug#18967: Tramp disables important SSH security features
Date: Thu, 06 Nov 2014 00:47:40 +0000 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <545AC52C.1090807@dancol.org> (raw)

Tramp disables SSH host key checks by setting
GlobalKnownHostsFile=/dev/null, UserKnownHostsFile=/dev/null, and
StrictHostKeyChecking=no in its default method configuration. These
settings allow attackers to intercept connections to remote hosts, sniff
passwords, and cause other mischief. I don't think we should ship an
insecure configuration.
