OpenSSH 10.6p2 has been released with a workaround for a critical vulnerability affecting Linux systems using musl libc without PAM, such as Alpine Linux; operators are urged to immediately set PasswordAuthentication=no or disable SSH on those systems. The flaw does not affect non-Linux, glibc, or PAM-based Linux systems, and OpenSSH rushed the release because AI agents have been rapidly rediscovering bugs, making long embargoes risky.
