"The remote Debian 10 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dla-3187
advisory.
- An issue was discovered in Dropbear through 2020.81. Due to a non-RFC-compliant check of the available
authentication methods in the client-side SSH code, it is possible for an SSH server to change the login
process in its favor. This attack can bypass additional security measures such as FIDO2 tokens or SSH-
Askpass. Thus, it allows an attacker to abuse a forwarded agent for logging on to another server
unnoticed. (CVE-2021-36369)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
