Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.11848
Category:Gain root remotely
Title:Portable SSH OpenSSH < 3.7.1p2
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

You are running OpenSSH 3.7p1 or 3.7.1p1.

These versions are vulnerable to a flaw in the way they handle PAM
authentication and may allow an attacker to gain a shell on this host.

*** Note that Nessus did not detect whether PAM is being enabled
*** in the remote sshd or not, so this might be a false positive.


Solution : Upgrade to OpenSSH 3.7.1p2 or disable PAM support in sshd_config
Risk factor : High
