The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 4.05, has openssh packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities:
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)
It was discovered that the OpenSSH sshd daemon fetched PAM environment settings before running the login program. In configurations with UseLogin=yes and the pam_env PAM module configured to read user environment settings, a local user could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as root. (CVE-2015-8325)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
