high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 406038

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities referenced in the following CVEs:

 - The do_setup_env function in session.c in sshd in OpenSSH through 7.2p2, when the UseLogin feature is
 enabled and PAM is configured to read .pam_environment files in user home directories, allows local users
 to gain privileges by triggering a crafted environment for the /bin/login program, as demonstrated by an
 LD_PRELOAD environment variable. (CVE-2015-8325)

 - The ssh_packet_read_poll2 function in packet.c in OpenSSH before 7.1p2 allows remote attackers to cause a
 denial of service (out-of-bounds read and application crash) via crafted network traffic. (CVE-2016-1907)
