Short summary of the #regreSSHion vulnerability (CVE-2024-6387)
It's an unauthenticated remote code execution that works without user interaction. Therefore a rather high security risk for systems running #openssh.
Affected versions (AFAIK):
Any version older than 4.4p1 and 8.5p1 until 9.8. The first upstream version, containing a fix is 9.8p1. But since distributions often backport security fixes to older versions, a deeper look is necessary.
