The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 8 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the RHSA-2024:0538 advisory.
libssh is a library which implements the SSH protocol. It can be used to implement client and server applications.
Security Fix(es):
* libssh: NULL pointer dereference during rekeying with algorithm guessing (CVE-2023-1667)
* libssh: authorization bypass in pki_verify_data_signature (CVE-2023-2283)
* ssh: Prefix truncation attack on Binary Packet Protocol (BPP) (CVE-2023-48795)
For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Red Hat Enterprise Linux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
