"The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the
AXSA:2017-2173:02 advisory.

    * A covert timing channel flaw was found in the way OpenSSH handled
    authentication of non-existent users. A remote unauthenticated attacker could
    possibly use this flaw to determine valid user names by measuring the timing of
    server responses. (CVE-2016-6210)
    CVE-2016-6210
    sshd in OpenSSH before 7.3, when SHA256 or SHA512 are used for user
    password hashing, uses BLOWFISH hashing on a static password when the
    username does not exist, which allows remote attackers to enumerate
    users by leveraging the timing difference between responses when a
    large password is provided.

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.");
