It was discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled forwarding restrictions when DisableForwarding and PermitTunnel were used together. An attacker could possibly use this issue to create tunnels despite forwarding being disabled, resulting in security restrictions being bypassed. This issue only affected Ubuntu 18.04 LTS and Ubuntu 20.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-59999)

It was discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled authentication attempt limits when using GSSAPI authentication. An attacker could possibly use this issue to consume excessive system resources, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2026-60000)

It was discovered that OpenSSH did not always enforce the minimum authentication delay.
