Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - OpenSSH through 10.0, when common types of DRAM are used, might allow row hammer attacks (for
 authentication bypass) because the integer value of authenticated in mm_answer_authpassword does not
 resist flips of a single bit. NOTE: this is applicable to a certain threat model of attacker-victim co-

 weaknesses." (CVE-2023-51767)
