"It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ALAS2023-2025-1340 advisory.

    SSH Agent servers do not validate the size of messages when processing new identity requests, which may
    cause the program to panic if the message is malformed due to an out of bounds read. (CVE-2025-47914)

    SSH servers parsing GSSAPI authentication requests do not validate the number of mechanisms specified in
    the request, allowing an attacker to cause unbounded memory consumption. (CVE-2025-58181)

    Within HostnameError.Error(), when constructing an error string, there is no limit to the number of hosts
    that will be printed out. Furthermore, the error string is constructed by repeated string concatenation,
    leading to quadratic runtime. Therefore, a certificate provided by a malicious actor can result in
    excessive resource consumption. (CVE-2025-61729)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the tested product security advisory.

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