The remote Ubuntu 22.04 LTS / 23.10 / 24.04 LTS host has packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the USN-6859-1 advisory.

It was discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled signal management. A remote attacker could use this     issue to bypass authentication and remotely access systems without proper credentials.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application’s self-reported version number.
