## Symptoms

- sshd is failing security audits.

## Cause

sshd is failing security audits due to weak encryption settings and vulnerability to logjam. The version of sshd packaged in R80.30 and below supports 1024 key sizes for DH key exchange and old cipher and MAC settings. This can cause GAIA systems to fail to pass standard security audits.
