Subject: [OE-core][wrynose][PATCH v2] openssh: set status for CVE-2026-59998
Date: Thu, 23 Jul 2026 02:07:04 -0700 [thread overview]
Message-ID: <20260723090704.1625527-1-devanshp@cisco.com> (raw)
In-Reply-To: <20260720175518.3546447-3-devanshp@cisco.com>
From: Devansh Patel <devanshp@cisco.com>
Analysis:
- CVE-2026-59998 concerns an undocumented limitation of
GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck in Windows Active Directory environments [1].
- Upstream OpenSSH 10.4 only documents the existing behavior and provides no
code remediation [2].
- The recipe disables Kerberos/GSSAPI by default. Mark the CVE
not-applicable-config when PACKAGECONFIG lacks kerberos, and unpatched when
kerberos is enabled.
Reference:

Signed-off-by: Devansh Patel <devanshp@cisco.com>

Changes in v2:
- Drop the documentation-only backport for CVE-2026-59998.
- Add a configuration-aware CVE_STATUS that reports unpatched when Kerberos
support is enabled and not-applicable-config otherwise.
