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

    CVE-2023-48795:
    The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other
    products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the
    extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for
    which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack. This occurs because
    the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and
    mishandles use of sequence numbers. For example, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of
    ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in [email protected] and
    (if CBC is used) the [email protected] MAC algorithms. This also affects Maverick Synergy Java SSH API
    before 3.1.0-SNAPSHOT, Dropbear through 2022.83, Ssh before 5.1.1 in Erlang/OTP, PuTTY before 0.80,
    AsyncSSH before 2.14.2, golang.org/x/crypto before 0.17.0, libssh before 0.10.6, and libssh2 through
    1.11.0; and there could be effects on Bitvise SSH through 9.31.

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

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