If compression is allowed in an SSH connection prior to authentication, vulnerabilities in the compression software could result in compromise of the system from an unauthenticated connection, potentially with root privileges.
Parameter:
[no/yes/delayed]
Technical Mechanism:
Fix:Configure the SUSE operating system SSH daemon performs compression after a user successfully authenticates.
Uncomment the "Compression" keyword in "/etc/ssh/sshd_config" on the system and set the value to "delayed" or "no":
Compression no
