Summary
Important: openssh security update
Details

OpenSSH is an SSH protocol implementation supported by a number of Linux, UNIX, and similar operating systems. It includes the core files necessary for both the OpenSSH client and server.

Security Fix(es):

  • openssh: Local MITM of X11 forwarding via abstract UNIX socket pre-binding in AlmaLinux OpenSSH client versions (CVE-2026-55655)
  • openssh: Double free in AlmaLinux versions of OpenSSH DH-GEX client path during FIPS known-group validation leads to client-side denial of service (CVE-2026-55653)
  • openssh: Heap out-of-bounds read in AlmaLinux versions of OpenSSH GSSAPI indicator cleanup due to missing NULL sentinel termination (CVE-2026-55654)
  • openssh: OpenSSH: Use-after-free vulnerability during host key re-exchange on the client side (CVE-2026-60002)
  • openssh: OpenSSH: scp file misplacement vulnerability during remote copy (CVE-2026-59996)
