Remotely observable behaviour in auth-gss2.c in OpenSSH through 7.8 could be used by remote attackers to detect existence of users on a target system when GSS2 is in use. NOTE: the discoverer states 'We understand that the OpenSSH developers do not want to treat such a username enumeration (or "oracle") as a vulnerability.'

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 7 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - openssh: scp allows command injection when using backtick characters in the destination argument     (CVE-2020-15778)

  - Remotely observable behaviour in auth-gss2.c in OpenSSH through 7.8 could be used by remote attackers to     detect existence of users on a target system when GSS2 is in use. NOTE: the discoverer states 'We     understand that the OpenSSH developers do not want to treat such a username enumeration (or oracle) as a     vulnerability.' (CVE-2018-15919)

  - In OpenSSH 7.9, scp.c in the scp client allows remote SSH servers to bypass intended access restrictions     via the filename of . or an empty filename. The impact is modifying the permissions of the target     directory on the client side. (CVE-2018-20685)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  - openssh: User enumeration via malformed packets in authentication requests (CVE-2018-15919)

  - openssh: authentication bypass via row hammer attack (CVE-2023-51767)

  - OpenSSH through 8.7 allows remote attackers, who have a suspicion that a certain combination of username     and public key is known to an SSH server, to test whether this suspicion is correct. This occurs because a     challenge is sent only when that combination could be valid for a login session. NOTE: the vendor does not     recognize user enumeration as a vulnerability for this product (CVE-2016-20012)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager's report that the package is installed.

This plugin has been deprecated as it does not adhere to established standards for this style of check.

According to the version of the openssh packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - Remotely observable behaviour in auth-gss2.c in OpenSSH     through 7.8 could be used by remote attackers to detect     existence of users on a target system when GSS2 is in     use. NOTE: the discoverer states 'We understand that     the OpenSSH developers do not want to treat such a     username enumeration (or 'oracle') as a     vulnerability.'(CVE-2018-15919)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

  - An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to missing     character encoding in the progress display, a malicious     server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can employ     crafted object names to manipulate the client output,     e.g., by using ANSI control codes to hide additional     files being transferred. This affects     refresh_progress_meter() in     progressmeter.c.(CVE-2019-6109)

  - An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to the scp     implementation being derived from 1983 rcp, the server     chooses which files/directories are sent to the client.
    However, the scp client only performs cursory     validation of the object name returned (only directory     traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious scp     server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite     arbitrary files in the scp client target directory. If     recursive operation (-r) is performed, the server can     manipulate subdirectories as well (for example, to     overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys     file).(CVE-2019-6111)

The installed version of OpenSSH is prior to 7.9 and is affected by a access validation error vulnerability in OpenSSH through 7.8 that could be used by remote attackers to detect existence of users on a target system when GSS2 is in use.

This update for openssh fixes the following issues :

  - CVE-2018-15919: Remotely observable behaviour in     auth-gss2.c in OpenSSH could be used by remote attackers     to detect existence of users on a target system when     GSS2 is in use. OpenSSH developers do not want to treat     such a username enumeration (or 'oracle') as a     vulnerability. (bsc#1106163)

  - CVE-2018-15473: OpenSSH was prone to a user existance     oracle vulnerability due to not delaying bailout for an     invalid authenticating user until after the packet     containing the request has been fully parsed, related to     auth2-gss.c, auth2-hostbased.c, and auth2-pubkey.c.
    (bsc#1105010)

The following non-security issues were fixed :

  - Stop leaking File descriptors (bsc#964336)

  - sftp-client.c returns wrong error code upon failure     (bsc#1091396)

  - added pam_keyinit to pam configuration file     (bsc#1081947)
