  • SRG-OS-000384-GPOS-00167

    Group
  • AIX must setup SSH daemon to disable revoked public keys.

    If compression is allowed in an SSH connection prior to authentication, vulnerabilities in the compression software could result in compromise of the system from an unauthenticated connection, pote...
    Rule Medium Severity
  • SRG-OS-000480-GPOS-00227

    Group
  • AIX must turn on SSH daemon privilege separation.

    SSH daemon privilege separation causes the SSH process to drop root privileges when not needed, which would decrease the impact of software vulnerabilities in the unprivileged section.
