Vulnerability discussion

To protect the confidentiality of nonlocal maintenance sessions when using SSH communications, SSHv2, AES ciphers, and key-exchange commands are configured. Nonlocal maintenance and diagnostic activities are those activities conducted by individuals communicating through a network, either an external network (e.g., the Internet) or an internal network. The SSHv2 protocol suite includes Layer 7 protocols such as SCP and SFTP which can be used for secure file transfers. The key-exchange commands limit the key exchanges to FIPS and DoD-approved methods.

Check content

Verify SSHv2, AES ciphers, and key-exchange commands are configured to protect confidentiality. [edit] show system services ssh If SSHv2, AES ciphers, and key-exchange commands are not configured to protect confidentiality, this is a finding.

Fix text

Configure SSH confidentiality options to comply with DoD requirements.

Pro Tips

Lavender hyperlinks in small type off to the right (of CSS class id, if you view the page source) point to globally unique URIs for each document and item. Copy the link location and paste anywhere you need to talk unambiguously about these things.

You can obtain data about documents and items in other formats. Simply provide an HTTP header Accept: text/turtle or Accept: application/rdf+xml.
