Detail

CVE-2023-48795

Severity: Moderate

CVSS3 Base Score: 5.9

CVSS3 Vector: CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:N

The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted from the extension negotiation message, and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack.

The following components were also updated in the same releases: OpenSSL 1.1.1za, PHP 8.2.20, Apache HTTP Server 2.4.60, removal of the Python service used by xmirror, mDNS/Bonjour disabled by default, and TLS 1.0/1.1 disabled.
