medium Nessus Plugin ID 235395

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

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

 A vulnerability was found in OpenSSH when the VerifyHostKeyDNS option is enabled. A machine-in-the-middle attack can be performed by a malicious machine impersonating a legit server. This issue occurs due to how OpenSSH mishandles error codes in specific conditions when verifying the host key. For an attack to be considered successful, the attacker needs to manage to exhaust the client's memory resource first, turning the attack complexity high.(CVE-2025-26465)

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

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