This was supposed to be fixed by this:Bz#1174162 (openssh-7.1p2-audit-race-condition.patch) which I do not see in the changelog, and the rejections and crashes happen again.

I see, bsc#1174162 was opened for SLES 15 SP1 which should have a fix with openssh-7.9p1-6.22.1 (also openssh-7.9p1-lp151.4.18.1 for openSUSE Leap 15.1).

Just to be 100% sure, you were able to reproduce with 15SP3 Beta right? and this is a fresh error output?

Anyway, I’ll dig around to check for this with 15SP3 and report here.
