    Synopsis
    ========

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSH, the worst of which
    could allow a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code.

    Background
    ==========

    OpenSSH is a complete SSH protocol implementation that includes SFTP
    client and server support.

    Affected packages
    =================

    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
    -------------------------------------------------------------------
    1 net-misc/openssh < 8.5_p1 >= 8.5_p1

    Description
    ===========

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSH. Please review
    the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.

    Impact
    ======

    A remote attacker, able to access the socket of the forwarding agent,
    might be able to execute arbitrary code with the privileges of the
    process or cause a Denial of Service condition.
    Furthermore, a remote attacker might conduct a man-in-the-middle attack targeting initial connection attempts where no host key for the server
    has been cached by client yet.

    Workaround
    ==========

    There is no known workaround at this time.

    Resolution
    ==========

    All OpenSSH users should upgrade to the latest version:

    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/openssh-8.5_p1"
