EulerOS Virtualization 2.11.0 : openssh (EulerOS-SA-2024-2184)

high Nessus Plugin ID 205959

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing a security update.

Description

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

A signal handler race condition was found in OpenSSH's server (sshd), where a client does not authenticate within LoginGraceTime seconds (120 by default, 600 in old OpenSSH versions), then sshd's SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously. However, this signal handler calls various functions that are not async-signal- safe, for example, syslog().(CVE-2024-6387)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization openssh security advisory.

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 affected openssh packages.
