Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.130083
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2015-0295)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssh' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0295 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'openssh' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0295 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The OpenSSH server, when keyboard-interactive challenge response
authentication is enabled and PAM is being used (the default configuration
in Mageia), can be tricked into allowing more password attempts than the
MaxAuthTries setting would normally allow in one connection, which can aid
an attacker in brute-force password guessing (CVE-2015-5600).

Affected Software/OS:
'openssh' package(s) on Mageia 4, Mageia 5.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
8.5

CVSS Vector:
AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:C
