"According to its banner, the version of OpenSSH running on the remote host is prior to 7.8. It is, therefore, affected
by an information disclosure vulnerability in the auth2-gss.c, auth2-hostbased.c, and auth2-pubkey due to not delaying
for an invalid authenticating user. An unauthenticated, remote attacker can exploit this, via a malformed packet, to
potentially enumerate users.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported
version number.");
