Nutanix AOS : (NXSA-AOS-6.7.0.6)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 184396

Language:

Synopsis

The Nutanix AOS host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of AOS installed on the remote host is prior to 6.7.0.6. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the NXSA-AOS-6.7.0.6 advisory.

 - The PKCS#11 feature in ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.3p2 has an insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an attacker-controlled system. (Code in /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent.) NOTE: this issue exists because of an incomplete fix for CVE-2016-10009. (CVE-2023-38408)

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the Nutanix AOS software to recommended version.
