openssh-9.9p1-9.el9_8.ML.1

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 MIRACLE LINUX OpenSSH client versions (CVE-2026-55655)
* openssh: Double free in MIRACLE 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 MIRACLE 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)

CVE-2026-55653
A flaw was found in OpenSSH. A malicious SSH server can exploit a double free vulnerability in the Diffie-Hellman Group Exchange (DH-GEX) client path. This occurs during FIPS (Federal Information Processing Standards) mode known-group validation when the client processes attacker-controlled DH-GEX group parameters. Successful exploitation leads to client-side process termination, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS).
CVE-2026-55654
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.
CVE-2026-55655
A flaw was found in OpenSSH. A local unprivileged attacker on a Linux client host can hijack client-side X11 forwarding connections. This is possible by pre-binding the preferred abstract X socket name when X11 forwarding is enabled and a local UNIX-domain X socket is used. A successful attack can compromise the confidentiality of forwarded X11 traffic, including sensitive window contents and input, and may allow some manipulation of the forwarded session.
CVE-2026-59996
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.
CVE-2026-60002
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.)
