Fix Recommendation

Edit /etc/ssh/sshd_config and add or edit the "Ciphers" line. Only include ciphers that start with "3des" or "aes" and do not contain "cbc". For the list of available ciphers for the particular version of your software, consult the sshd_config manpage.

Restart the SSH daemon.

Check Contents

Check the SSH daemon configuration for allowed ciphers.
# grep -i ciphers /etc/ssh/sshd_config | grep -v '^#'
If no lines are returned, or the returned ciphers list contains any cipher ending with cbc, this is a finding.
