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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux OpenSSH client versions (CVE-2026-55655) * openssh: Double free in Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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 Red Hat Enterprise Linux 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) For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.

sftp in OpenSSH before 10.4 does not properly constrain the location of downloaded files when "sftp server:/path ." is used with an attacker-controlled server.

scp in OpenSSH before 10.4 may place a file in the parent directory of an intended directory when the copy occurs between two remote destinations.

internal-sftp in sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 recognizes only the first 9 command-line arguments, which can be important if a later command-line argument would have helped to ensure the intended security properties of an SFTP connection.

sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 has an undocumented security-relevant behavior: GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck has no value if the server is in Windows Active Directory.

In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4, DisableForwarding=yes was supposed to take precedence over PermitTunnel=yes, but did not.

sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption from excessive authentication attempts) because MaxAuthTries was mishandled for GSSAPIAuthentication.

sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 does not always honor the minimum authentication delay.

ssh in OpenSSH before 10.4 can have a use-after-free when a server changes its host key during a key re-exchange. (This outcome occurs only on the client side.)

A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability, a heap out-of-bounds read, occurs during the cleanup of GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface) indicators when a trailing NULL termination is missing in the auth-indicators array. A remote attacker, under specific configurations involving GSSAPI authentication and a Kerberos environment, could exploit this to cause the SSH authentication path to crash or abort. This leads to a denial of service (DoS), impacting the availability of the SSH service.
