Dec 18, 2023
microsoft2023-Dec/CVE-2023-51384Moderate

In ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.6 certain destination constraints can be incompletely applied. When destination constraints are specified during addition of PKCS#11-hosted private keys these constraints are only applied to the first key even if a PKCS#11 token returns multiple keys.
