The remote Redhat Enterprise Linux 4 host has one or more packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities that have been acknowledged by the vendor but will not be patched.

  • openssh: MaxAuthTries limit bypass via duplicates in KbdInteractiveDevices (CVE-2015-5600)

  • openssh: Bounds check can be evaded in the shared memory manager used by pre-authentication compression support (CVE-2016-10012)

  • The ssh_gssapi_parse_ename function in gss-serv.c in OpenSSH 5.8 and earlier, when gssapi-with-mic authentication is enabled, allows remote authenticated users to cause a denial of service (memory consumption) via a large value in a certain length field. NOTE: there may be limited scenarios in which this issue is relevant. (CVE-2011-5000)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied on the package manager’s report that the package is installed.
