Description

In ssh in OpenSSH before 9.6, OS command injection might occur if a user name or host name has shell metacharacters, and this name is referenced by an expansion token in certain situations. For example, an untrusted Git repository can have a submodule with shell metacharacters in a user name or host name. The impact of this vulnerability on AOS-CX switches has not been confirmed, but the version of OpenSSH has been upgraded for mitigation.
