EulerOS Virtualization 2.9.1 : openssh (EulerOS-SA-2021-1720)

high Nessus Plugin ID 148631

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the openssh packages installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 - ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 8.5 has a double free that may be relevant in a few less-common scenarios, such as unconstrained agent-socket access on a legacy operating system, or the forwarding of an agent to an attacker-controlled host.(CVE-2021-28041)

 - A flaw was found in OpenSSH in versions 5.7 through 8.3, where an Observable Discrepancy occurs and leads to an information leak in the algorithm negotiation.
 This flaw allows a man-in-the-middle attacker to target initial connection attempts, where there is no host key for the server that has been cached by the client.(CVE-2020-14145)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected openssh packages.
