"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2013-105:01 advisory.

    SSH (Secure SHell) is a program for logging into and executing commands on a remote machine. SSH is
    intended to replace rlogin and rsh, and to provide secure encrypted communications between two untrusted
    hosts over an insecure network. X11 connections and arbitrary TCP/IP ports can also be forwarded over the
    secure channel.
    OpenSSH is OpenBSD's version of the last free version of SSH, bringing it up to date in terms of security
    and features.
    This package includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH client and server. To make this
    package useful, you should also install openssh-clients, openssh-server, or both.
    Security issues fixed with this release:
     CVE-2012-5536
    A certain Red Hat build of the pam_ssh_agent_auth module on Red Hat Enterprise Linux (RHEL) 6 and Fedora
    Rawhide calls the glibc error function instead of the error function in the OpenSSH codebase, which allows
    local users to obtain sensitive information from process memory or possibly gain privileges via crafted
    use of an application that relies on this module, as demonstrated by su and sudo.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

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