The remote Ubuntu 20.04 LTS / 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-7108-1 advisory.

    Fabian Bumer, Marcus Brinkmann, and Jrg Schwenk discovered that AsyncSSH did not properly handle the     extension info message. An attacker able to intercept communications could possibly use this issue to     downgrade the algorithm used for client authentication. (CVE-2023-46445)

    AsyncSSH is a Python package which provides an asynchronous client     and server implementation of the SSHv2 protocol on top of the Python     3.4+ asyncio framework. It has been discovered that it is vulnerable to

    CVE-2023-46445

        A vulnerability has been discovered that allows attackers to control         the extension info message (RFC 8308) via a man-in-the-middle attack         (aka Rogue Extension Negotiation).

    CVE-2023-46446

        A vulnerability has been discovered that allows attackers to control         the remote end of an SSH client session via packet injection/removal         and shell emulation (aka Rogue Session attack).

    CVE-2023-48795

        A vulnerability has been discovered allows remote attackers to bypass         integrity checks, and a client and server may consequently end up with         a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or         disabled (aka Terrapin attack).

    For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version     2.5.0-0.1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your python-asyncssh packages.
