across authentication attempts. (CVE-2026-106555)
- In ssh in OpenSSH before 10.6, a $ or \ character can occur in a command-line username, leading to
injection. (CVE-2026-106583)
- In sshd and ssh in OpenSSH before 10.6, there is no check for whether the maximum packet length is
exceeded during decompression of highly compressed data. (CVE-2026-106585)
