"The remote Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced
in the ALINUX3-SA-2022:0067 advisory.

    Package updates are available for Alibaba Cloud Linux 3 that fix the following vulnerabilities:

    CVE-2019-14889:
    A flaw was found with the libssh API function ssh_scp_new() in versions before 0.9.3 and before 0.8.8.
    When the libssh SCP client connects to a server, the scp command, which includes a user-provided path, is
    executed on the server-side. In case the library is used in a way where users can influence the third
    parameter of the function, it would become possible for an attacker to inject arbitrary commands, leading
    to a compromise of the remote target.

    CVE-2020-1730:
    A flaw was found in libssh versions before 0.8.9 and before 0.9.4 in the way it handled AES-CTR (or DES
    ciphers if enabled) ciphers. The server or client could crash when the connection hasn't been fully
    initialized and the system tries to cleanup the ciphers when closing the connection. The biggest threat
    from this vulnerability is system availability.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Alibaba Cloud 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.");
