  - In sftp in OpenSSH before 10.6, a server can trigger directory traversal (causing files to be written to
    unintended locations) during a recursive copy operation. (CVE-2026-106552)

  - In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, credentials can incorrectly persist after failure of a
    GSSAPIAuthentication authentication attempt. (CVE-2026-106553)

  - In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, GSSAPIAuthentication authentication state can incorrectly be persisted
    across authentication attempts. (CVE-2026-106555)

  - In sshd and ssh in OpenSSH before 10.6, an LZ77 dictionary coder can be used even though this is
    contraindicated by the arXiv 2609.07709 Crossing the Streams findings. (CVE-2026-106582)

  - In ssh in OpenSSH before 10.6, a $ or \ character can occur in a command-line username, leading to
    injection. (CVE-2026-106583)
