Check Text ( C-43286r1_chk ) |
---|
Check the SSH daemon configuration for allowed ciphers. # grep -i ciphers /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -v '^#' If no lines are returned, or the returned ciphers list contains any cipher not starting with "3des" or "aes", this is a finding. |
Fix Text (F-39369r3_fix) |
---|
Edit the SSH daemon configuration and remove any ciphers not starting with "3des" or "aes". If necessary, add a "Ciphers" line. Restart the SSH daemon. # /sbin/service sshd restart |
