"The version of libssh installed on the remote CBL Mariner 2.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore,
affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2025-5372 advisory.
- 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)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
