ALMALINUX9.2:CLSA-2024:1709547699 advisory.

  - A flaw was found in libssh. By utilizing the ProxyCommand or ProxyJump feature, users can exploit
    unchecked hostname syntax on the client. This issue may allow an attacker to inject malicious code into
    the command of the features mentioned through the hostname parameter. (CVE-2023-6004)

  - A flaw was found in the libssh implements abstract layer for message digest (MD) operations implemented by
    different supported crypto backends. The return values from these were not properly checked, which could
    cause low-memory situations failures, NULL dereferences, crashes, or usage of the uninitialized memory as
    an input for the KDF. In this case, non-matching keys will result in decryption/integrity failures,
    terminating the connection. (CVE-2023-6918)

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
