Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.11031
Category:Gain root remotely
Title:OpenSSH <= 3.3
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

You are running a version of OpenSSH which is older than 3.4

There is a flaw in this version that can be exploited remotely to
give an attacker a shell on this host.

Note that several distribution patched this hole without changing
the version number of OpenSSH. Since Nessus solely relied on the
banner of the remote SSH server to perform this check, this might
be a false positive.

If you are running a RedHat host, make sure that the command :
rpm -q openssh-server

Returns :
openssh-server-3.1p1-6


Solution : Upgrade to OpenSSH 3.4 or contact your vendor for a patch
Risk factor : Critical

CVSS Score:
10.0
