The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 24.04 LTS / 26.04 LTS / Pro Realtime 22.04 LTS / Pro Realtime 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-8721-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that OpenSSH's ssh-agent incorrectly handled interactions between agent locking and the     session-bind@openssh.com extension. A remote attacker with access to a forwarded agent connection could     possibly use this issue to perform operations that should only be available locally, such as adding tokens     or using keys. (CVE-2026-73281)

    It was discovered that OpenSSH's ssh client incorrectly handled concurrent remote-forwarding operations. A     remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a use-after-free condition, resulting in a denial     of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-73282)

    It was discovered that OpenSSH's sshd server incorrectly applied the restrict keyword from authorized_keys     to tunnel forwarding requests. A local attacker with an authorized key could possibly use this issue to     bypass intended tunnel forwarding restrictions. (CVE-2026-73283)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The remote CentOS Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the openssh-9.9p1-13.el9 build changelog.

  - Fix information disclosure and data corruption via use-after-free in ssh client (CVE-2026-73282)

  - Fix misinteraction between agent locking and the session-bind@openssh.com extension (CVE-2026-73281)

  - Complete the fix of security bypass due to incorrect handling of forwarding and tunneling options     (CVE-2026-73283)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The version of OpenSSH installed on the remote host is prior to 10.5. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the release-10.5 advisory.

  - In ssh in OpenSSH before 10.5, a use-after-free for realloc data can occur if a certain pair of     remote-forwarding operations are concurrent. (CVE-2026-73282)

  - In ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 10.5, some operations can occur remotely but were intended to occur only     locally, including operations that add tokens or use keys. This is caused by misinteraction between agent     locking and the session-bind@openssh.com extension. (CVE-2026-73281)

  - In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.5, the restrict keyword (in authorized_keys) was supposed to be applicable to     tunnel forwarding but was not. (CVE-2026-73283)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied patch available.

  - In ssh in OpenSSH before 10.5, a use-after-free for realloc data can occur if a certain pair of remote-     forwarding operations are concurrent. (CVE-2026-73282)

Note that Nessus relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.
