M4300 - OpenSSH < 9.3p2 Vulnerability

Hello all,

 

Currently using Firmware version 12.0.19.7 on a fleet of M4300 switches. Against a independent vulnerability scan of these, it has shown up they are showing having SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_8.0 installed and it would require at least 9.3p2 / 9.4 installed to resolve this.

 

Due to this, I have had to disable SSH for the time being which means I no longer have access into the command line easily.

 

Looking at future firmware releases, there is no mention of this being fixed and as such I cannot update my fleet unless I know this issue will be resolved.

 

Does anyone at Netgear/ Community member know about this problem and its resolution path?
