  "details" : [ "OpenSSH before 10.3 mishandles the authorized_keys principals option in uncommon scenarios involving a principals list in conjunction with a Certificate Authority that makes certain use of comma characters.", "A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability arises from the incorrect handling of the authorized_keys principals option in uncommon scenarios. Specifically, when a principals list is used with a Certificate Authority that includes comma characters, OpenSSH may misinterpret the input. This could lead to security bypasses, potentially allowing unintended access or information disclosure in specific authentication contexts." ],
  "statement" : "The risk posed by this flaw to Red Hat products is limited. The use of SSH certificates is not enabled by default and requires that users opt-in to the feature. Further, when following documented guidance ssh connections should only be permitted to non-root users which will limit the impact of this flaw.",
