Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssh-9.3p2-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
ssh-agent(1) in OpenSSH between and 5.5 and 9.3p1 (inclusive): remote code
execution relating to PKCS#11 providers.
The PKCS#11 support ssh-agent(1) could be abused to achieve remote code
execution via a forwarded agent socket if the following conditions are met:
* Exploitation requires the presence of specific libraries on the victim
system.
* Remote exploitation requires that the agent was forwarded to an
attacker-controlled system.
Exploitation can also be prevented by starting ssh-agent(1) with an empty
PKCS#11/FIDO allowlist (ssh-agent -P '') or by configuring an allowlist that
contains only specific provider libraries.
This vulnerability was discovered and demonstrated to be exploitable by the
Qualys Security Advisory team.
Potentially-incompatible changes:
* ssh-agent(8): the agent will now refuse requests to load PKCS#11 modules
issued by remote clients by default. A flag has been added to restore the
previous behaviour: '-Oallow-remote-pkcs11'.
