The remote Debian 12 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the dsa-5724 advisory.
- ------------------------------------------------------------------------- Debian Security Advisory DSA-5724-1 [email protected] https://www.debian.org/security/ Salvatore Bonaccorso July 01, 2024 https://www.debian.org/security/faq
- -------------------------------------------------------------------------
Package : openssh CVE ID : CVE-2024-6387
The Qualys Threat Research Unit (TRU) discovered that OpenSSH, an implementation of the SSH protocol suite, is prone to a signal handler race condition. If a client does not authenticate within LoginGraceTime seconds (120 by default), then sshd's SIGALRM handler is called asynchronously and calls various functions that are not async-signal-safe. A remote unauthenticated attacker can take advantage of this flaw to execute arbitrary code with root privileges. This flaw affects sshd in its default configuration.
Details can be found in the Qualys advisory at https://www.qualys.com/2024/07/01/cve-2024-6387/regresshion.txt
For the stable distribution (bookworm), this problem has been fixed in version 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3.
We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.
For the detailed security status of openssh please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/openssh

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