OpenSSH < 10.0 DisableForwarding

low Nessus Plugin ID 234554

Language:

Synopsis

The SSH server running on the remote host is affected by a vulnerability.

Description

The version of OpenSSH installed on the remote host is prior to 10.0. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability. In sshd in OpenSSH the DisableForwarding directive does not adhere to the documentation stating that it disables X11 and agent forwarding.

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

Solution

Upgrade to OpenSSH version 10.0 or later.
