| Detailed Description |
A version of SSH Tectia Server which is older than 4.3.7 or 4.4.2 has been installed on the host. SSH (Secure Shell) Tectia Server is a commercial SSH server. SSH Tectia Server versions prior to 4.3.7 and 4.4.2 could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the system, caused by a format string vulnerability in the SFTP (Secure FTP) logging functionality. If a remote, authenticated attacker could create a malicious file with a specially-crafted file name and persuade an authenticated user to "stat" the file, the attacker could execute arbitrary code on the affected host or crash the server itself.
* Note: This check solely relied on the banner of the remote SSH server to assess this vulnerability, so this might be a false positive.
