The remote Oracle Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the ELSA-2023-6643 advisory.
A vulnerability was found in libssh, where the authentication check of the connecting client can be bypassed in thepki_verify_data_signature
function in memory allocation problems. This issue may happen if there is insufficient memory or the memory usage is limited. The problem is caused by the return value rc,
which is initialized to SSH_ERROR and later rewritten to save the return value of the function call pki_key_check_hash_compatible.
The value of the variable is not changed between this point and the cryptographic verification. Therefore any error between them calls goto error
returning SSH_OK.
(CVE-2023-2283)
A NULL pointer dereference was found In libssh during re-keying with algorithm guessing. This issue may allow an authenticated client to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2023-1667)
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
