NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh-askpass package and not the openssh-askpass package as distributed by AlmaLinux. See How to fix? for AlmaLinux:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

In ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 10.5, some operations can occur remotely but were intended to occur only locally, including operations that add tokens or use keys. This is caused by misinteraction between agent locking and the session-bind@openssh.com extension.
