Name Veritas Netbackup Agent Arbitrary Code Execution
Description
The remote host appears to be running the Veritas NetBackup Java Console service.
This service is used by the NetBackup Java Console GUI to manage the backup server. A user, authorized to connect to this service, can
use it as a remote shell with system privileges by sending 'command_EXEC_LIST' messages.
General Solution
Restrict access to the NetBackup service.
Name Ssl Version 2 (v2) Protocol Detection
Description
The remote service accepts connections encrypted using
SSL 2.0, which reportedly suffers from several cryptographic flaws and has been deprecated for several years. An attacker may be able to exploit these issues to conduct man-in-the-middle attacks or decrypt communications between the affected service and clients.
General
Solution
Consult the application's documentation to disable SSL 2.0 and use SSL 3.0 or TLS 1.0 instead.
Name Ssl Weak Cipher Suites Supported
Description
The remote host supports the use of SSL ciphers that offer either weak encryption or no encryption at all.
General
Solution
Reconfigure the affected application if possible to avoid use of weak ciphers.
Name Openssh X11 Forwarding Session Hijacking
Description
According to its banner, the version of SSH installed on the remote host is older than 5.0. Such versions may allow a local
user to hijack X11 sessions because it improperly binds TCP ports on the local IPv6 interface if the corresponding ports on the IPv4 interface are in use.
General Solution
Upgrade to OpenSSH version 5.0 or later.
Name SSH Protocol Versions
Supported
Description
We were able to determine which versions of the SSH protocol the remote SSH daemon supports.
This gives potential attackers additional information about the system they are attacking.
General Solution
You are advised to check the versions of
SSH that are currently being supported by the SSH daemon on your server for the following:
- the version is not outdated. Cipher versions are outdated for a reason ... cryptographic flaws
- non-compliance with your organizational security policies. Also review your security policies to see
if it explicitly states that some versions are not to be used
- it is advisable to look up industry standard best practices and use what the industry uses as a whole. This helps to get support if any problems arise in the future.
Modifying the configuration file (sshd.conf; depends
which SSH daemon is used) for the SSH daemon to include those protocols that are secure/supported is always a good idea.
