  1. OpenSSH before 10.3 mishandles the authorized_keys principals option in uncommon scenarios involving a principals list in conjunction with a Certificate Authority that makes certain use of comma characters.•CVE-2026-35414
  2. Vulnerability in the OpenSSH GSSAPI delta included in various Linux distributions. This vulnerability affects the GSSAPI patches added by various Linux distributions and does not affect the OpenSSH upstream project itself. The usage of sshpkt_disconnect() on an error, which does not terminate the process, allows an attacker to send an unexpected GSSAPI message type during the GSSAPI key exchange to the server, which will call the underlying function and continue the execution of the program without setting the related connection variables. As the variables are not initialized to NULL the code later accesses those uninitialized variables, accessing random memory, which could lead to undefined behavior. The recommended workaround is to use ssh_packet_disconnect() instead, which does terminate the process. The impact of the vulnerability depends heavily on the compiler flag hardening configuration.•CVE-2026-3497
  3. A vulnerability allowing a low-privileged user to extract saved SSH credentials.•CVE-2026-21670
  4. A vulnerability was determined in mkj Dropbear up to 2025.89. Impacted is the function unpackneg of the file src/curve25519.c of the component S Range Check. This manipulation causes improper verification of cryptographic signature. The attack can be initiated remotely. The attack is considered to have high complexity. The exploitability is considered difficult. The actual existence of this vulnerability is currently in question. Patch name: fdec3c90a15447bd538641d85e5a3e3ac981011d. To fix this issue, it is recommended to deploy a patch. The project maintainer explains: "Signature Malleability is not exploitable in SSH protocol. (...) [A] PoC doesn't exist for SSH implementation, but rather it's against the internal API."•CVE-2026-3706
  5. An attacker may exploit the use of outdated and weak MAC algorithms in the device’s SSH service to potentially compromise the integrity of the SSH session, allowing manipulation of transmitted data if the attacker can interact with the network traffic.•CVE-2026-1627
