GEN005507 - SSH daemon must be configured to only use MACs employing FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic hash algorithms

Information

DoD information systems are required to use FIPS 140-2 approved cryptographic hash functions.

Solution

Edit the SSH daemon configuration and remove any MACs that are not hmac-sha1 or a better hmac algorithm that is on the FIPS 140-2 approved list. If necessary, add a MACs line.
