CVE-2021-41617

Note

Priority reason:
Cannot be reproduced on Ubuntu since sshd drops groups early
openssh-ssh1 is provided for compatibility with old devices that
cannot be upgraded to modern protocols. Thus we may not provide security
support for this package if doing so would prevent access to equipment.
Only applies to non-default configurations where
AuthorizedKeysCommand or AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand are used.
Cannot reproduce since sshd for all releases drops supplementary
groups early when it starts with setgroups(0, NULL).
