Description

SSH port in FreeBSD contains a misconfiguration in its sshd_config file that may allow a malicious user to gain access to unauthorized privileges. The issue is triggered when the SSH daemon is configured to listen on network port 722, in addition to the usual port 22. This flaw may allow malicious users to bypass firewall restrictions and lead to a loss of integrity.
