Provides instructions for using the script to check if your OpenSSH installation is vulnerable to CVE-2024-6387
This README provides instructions for using the script to check if your OpenSSH installation is vulnerable to CVE-2024-6387. The script inspects the installed sshd binaries on your system, determines their versions, and checks for vulnerability status based on the detected version.
awk, grep, sed, strings, and cut utilities available in your shell environmentThe script performs the following steps:
sshd using the type -a sshd command.sshd binary.sshd binary.Copy the script into a file, e.g., check_cve_2024_6387.sh.
Give the script execute permissions:
chmod +x check_cve_2024_6387.sh
Run the script:
./check_cve_2024_6387.sh
#!/bin/bash
for each_entry in $(type -a sshd | awk '{print $NF}' | uniq); do
version_string=$(strings "$each_entry" | grep -o "OpenSSH_[0-9]\+\.[0-9]\+p[0-9]\+" | uniq)
if [ -n "$version_string" ]; then
version=$(echo "$version_string" | sed -E 's/OpenSSH_([0-9]+\.[0-9]+)p[0-9]+/\1/')
major_version=$(echo $version | cut -d '.' -f 1)
minor_version=$(echo $version | cut -d '.' -f 2)
if [ "$major_version" -lt 4 ] || ([ "$major_version" -eq 4 ] && [ "$minor_version" -lt 4 ]); then
