A new OpenSSH vulnerability (CVE-2024-6409) — a signal-handler race in sshd 8.7p1/8.8p1 — was disclosed by Alexander Peslyak (Solar Designer). The flaw can potentially allow remote code execution in a reduced-privilege sshd process; AlmaLinux has issued a patch, affected Fedora releases are end-of-life, and major supported distributions report limited or no exposure.
