Siemens SCALANCE X-200RNA Switch Devices Improper Authentication (CVE-2016-1908)

critical Tenable OT Security Plugin ID 503105

Synopsis

The remote OT asset is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The client in OpenSSH before 7.2 mishandles failed cookie generation for untrusted X11 forwarding and relies on the local X11 server for access-control decisions, which allows remote X11 clients to trigger a fallback and obtain trusted X11 forwarding privileges by leveraging configuration issues on this X11 server, as demonstrated by lack of the SECURITY extension on this X11 server.

This plugin only works with Tenable.ot.
