[slackware-security] openssh (SSA:2026-309-01)

New openssh packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix a security issue.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/openssh-10.6p2-i586-1_slack15.0.txz: Upgraded.
This update fixes a security issue:
sshd(8): avoid password authentication bypass that is exploitable
through sshd(8) that affects some Linux systems when built and run
with PAM support disabled. We consider the root cause of this bug
to be outside sshd, but it is exploitable via sshd and can be
avoided there.
(* Security fix *)
rc.sshd: don't try to make an obsolete DSA key. Thanks to janve.
