TencentOS Server 3: openssh (TSSA-2024:0051)

high Nessus Plugin ID 239144

Synopsis

The remote TencentOS Server 3 host is missing one or more security updates.

Description

The version of Tencent Linux installed on the remote TencentOS Server 3 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the TSSA-2024:0051 advisory.

Package updates are available for TencentOS Server 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

CVE-2023-48795:
A flaw was found in the SSH channel integrity. By manipulating sequence numbers during the handshake, an attacker can remove the initial messages on the secure channel without causing a MAC failure. For example, an attacker could disable the ping extension and thus disable the new countermeasure in OpenSSH 9.5 against keystroke timing attacks.

CVE-2023-51385:
A flaw was found in OpenSSH. In certain circumstances, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary OS commands by using expansion tokens, such as %u or %h, with user names or host names that contain shell metacharacters.

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

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

Solution

Update the affected packages.
