# Recommended update for openssh

Announcement ID: SUSE-RU-2024:1366-2  
Rating: moderate  
References:

Affected Products:

  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.5

  
  
An update that has four fixes can now be installed.

## Description:

This update for openssh fixes the following issues:

  * Fix hostbased ssh login failing occasionally with "signature unverified:
    incorrect signature" by fixing a typo in patch (bsc#1221123)
  * Avoid closing IBM Z crypto devices nodes. (bsc#1218871)
  * Allow usage of IBM Z crypto adapter cards in seccomp filters (bsc#1216474)

  * Change the default value of UpdateHostKeys to Yes (unless VerifyHostKeyDNS
    is enabled).

This makes ssh update the known_hosts stored keys with all published versions by
the server (after it's authenticated with an existing key), which will allow to
identify the server with a different key if the existing key is considered
insecure at some point in the future (bsc#1222831).

## Patch Instructions:

To install this SUSE update use the SUSE recommended installation methods like
YaST online_update or "zypper patch".  
Alternatively you can run the command listed for your product:

  * SUSE Linux Enterprise Micro 5.5  
    zypper in -t patch SUSE-SLE-Micro-5.5-2024-1366=1
