Description

Red Hat has issued an update for openssh, which corrects a small number of OpenSSH packages that have been tampered with.

Some packages have been signed during an intrusion incident on the Red Hat computer systems. The vendor is still investigating the incident.

An issue that prevents ssh from using a trusted X11 cookie if creation of an untrusted cookie fails has also been corrected.

Solution
Updated packages are available via Red Hat Network.
