"The remote NewStart CGSL host, running version MAIN 6.02, has openssh packages installed that are affected by a
vulnerability:
- A vulnerability was found in OpenSSH. The PKCS#11 feature in the ssh-agent in OpenSSH has an
insufficiently trustworthy search path, leading to remote code execution if an agent is forwarded to an
attacker-controlled system (the code in /usr/lib is not necessarily safe for loading into ssh-agent). This
flaw allows an attacker with control of the forwarded agent-socket on the server and the ability to write
to the filesystem of the client host to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the
ssh-agent. (CVE-2023-38408)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
