  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"According to the versions of the libssh package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is
affected by the following vulnerabilities :

    A flaw was found in libssh's handling of key exchange (KEX) processes when a client repeatedly sends
    incorrect KEX guesses. The library fails to free memory during these rekey operations, which can gradually
    exhaust system memory. This issue can lead to crashes on the client side, particularly when using
    libgcrypt, which impacts application stability and availability.(CVE-2025-8277)

    A flaw was found in libssh versions built with OpenSSL versions older than 3.0, specifically in the
    ssh_kdf() function responsible for key derivation. Due to inconsistent interpretation of return values
    where OpenSSL uses 0 to indicate failure and libssh uses 0 for successthe function may mistakenly
    return a success status even when key derivation fails. This results in uninitialized cryptographic key
    buffers being used in subsequent communication, potentially compromising SSH sessions' confidentiality,
    integrity, and availability.(CVE-2025-5372)

    A flaw was found in the libssh library. An out-of-bounds read can be triggered in the sftp_handle function
    due to an incorrect comparison check that permits the function to access memory beyond the valid handle
    list and to return an invalid pointer, which is used in further processing. This vulnerability allows an
    authenticated remote attacker to potentially read unintended memory regions, exposing sensitive
    information or affect service behavior.(CVE-2025-5318)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS Virtualization libssh security advisory.

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