CVE-2026-73281

In ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 10.5, some operations can occur remotely but were intended to occur only locally, including operations that add tokens or use keys. This is caused by misinteraction between agent locking and the [email protected] extension.

Local mitm of x11 forwarding via abstract unix socket pre-binding in Red Hat Enterprise Linux openssh client versions.

(CVE-2026-59996) 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. (CVE-2026-59997) sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 has an undocumented security-relevant behavior: GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck has no value if the server is in Windows Active Directory. (CVE-2026-59998) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4, DisableForwarding=yes was supposed to take precedence over PermitTunnel=yes, but did not.

(CVE-2026-60002) In ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 10.5, some operations can occur remotely but were intended to occur only locally, including operations that add tokens or use keys. This is caused by misinteraction between agent locking and the [email protected] extension. (CVE-2026-73281) In ssh in OpenSSH before 10.5, a use-after-free for realloc data can occur if a certain pair of remote-forwarding operations are concurrent. (CVE-2026-73282) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.5, the restrict keyword (in authorized_keys) was supposed to be applicable to tunnel forwarding but was not.

(CVE-2026-106585) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, the restrict keyword (in authorized_keys) was supposed to be applicable to tunnel forwarding but was not, a different vulnerability than CVE-2026-73283. (CVE-2026-106586) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, the value "none" for a configuration option is sometimes interpreted as a filename but was intended to mean that a feature is disabled.

It was discovered that OpenSSH's ssh-agent incorrectly handled interactions between agent locking and the [email protected] extension. A remote attacker with access to a forwarded agent connection could possibly use this issue to perform operations that should only be available locally, such as adding tokens or using keys. (CVE-2026-73281)

It was discovered that OpenSSH's ssh client incorrectly handled concurrent remote-forwarding operations. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a use-after-free condition, resulting in a denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code. (CVE-2026-73282)

It was discovered that OpenSSH's sshd server incorrectly applied the restrict keyword from authorized_keys to tunnel forwarding requests. A local attacker with an authorized key could possibly use this issue to bypass intended tunnel forwarding restrictions. (CVE-2026-73283)
