✅ Remediation
For more information visit https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:82759 Workaround: Mitigation for this issue is either not available or the currently available options do not meet the Red Hat Product Security criteria comprising ease of use and deployment, applicability to widespread installation base, or stability. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, OpenSSH clients operating in FIPS mode should avoid negotiating the `diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256` key exchange algorithm. This can be achieved by explicitly listing allowed key exchange algorithms in the client's SSH configuration file (e.g., `/etc/ssh/ssh_config` or `~/.ssh/config`), ensuring `diffie-hellman-group-exchange-sha256` is *not* included. For example, to use a subset of common algorithms, you might configure: ``` KexAlgorithms [email protected],ecdh-sha2-nistp256,ecdh-sha2-nistp384,ecdh-sha2-nistp521,diffie-hellman-group14-sha1 ``` (Note: The above example `KexAlgorithms` list is illustrative and should be adjusted based on your environment's security requirements.) Additionally, avoid using non-fatal client flows, such as `ssh-keyscan`, against untrusted SSH servers while FIPS mode is enabled. Changes to `ssh_config` will take effect for new SSH connections. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, disable X11 forwarding on OpenSSH clients when it is not required. This can be achieved by avoiding the use of `-X` or `-Y` options when invoking `ssh`, or by setting `ForwardX11 no` in the SSH client configuration file (`~/.ssh/config` or `/etc/ssh/ssh_config`). Disabling X11 forwarding will prevent the client from attempting to establish X11 connections, thereby removing the attack vector. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, avoid using the `sftp server:/path .` command when connecting to untrusted or potentially malicious SFTP servers. Exercise caution and verify the authenticity of SFTP servers before initiating file transfers, especially when using commands that implicitly define the download destination, and also avoid running SFTP sessions with elevated privileges (such as root). Workaround: To mitigate this issue, users should avoid performing `scp` operations directly between two remote destinations. Instead, consider copying files from the first remote host to a local machine, and then from the local machine to the second remote host. Alternatively, use `sftp` or `rsync` for remote file transfers, as these utilities are not affected by this specific vulnerability. Workaround: To mitigate this issue, if `DisableForwarding=yes` is set in `/etc/ssh/sshd_config` to prevent all forwarding, ensure that `PermitTunnel` is explicitly set to `no` in the same configuration file. This will enforce the intended security policy. After modifying `/etc/ssh/sshd_config`, restart the `sshd` service for the changes to take effect. This may temporarily interrupt active SSH sessions.
