    CVE ID         : CVE-2022-24302
    Debian Bug     : 1008012

    A race condition (between creation and chmod) in the write_private_key_file
    function could allow unauthorized information disclosure.

    For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version
    2.7.2-1+deb11u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your paramiko packages.

    For the detailed security status of paramiko please refer to
    its security tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/paramiko
