medium Nessus Plugin ID 187208

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Linux host has an application that is affected by an SSH cryptography vulnerability.

Description

The version of Dell NetWorker Virtual Edition installed on the remote Linux host is prior to 19.7, 19.7.0.x prior to 19.7.0.6, 19.7.1, 19.8.x prior to 19.8.0.4 or 19.9.x prior to 19.9.0.3. It is, therefore, affected by vulnerability in the SSH component. Due to use of deprecated cryptographic algorithms, an unauthenticated, remote attacker could access confidential information.

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

Solution

Upgrade to Dell NetWorker Virtual Edition 19.8.0.4, 19.9.0.3, or later.
