How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.5 apache-sshd to version 2.18.0-150200.5.11.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream apache-sshd package and not the apache-sshd package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.5 relevant fixed versions and status.

The implementation of EdDSA in EdDSA-Java (aka ed25519-java) through 0.3.0 exhibits signature malleability and does not satisfy the SUF-CMA (Strong Existential Unforgeability under Chosen Message Attacks) property. This allows attackers to create new valid signatures different from previous signatures for a known message.
