How to fix?

Upgrade SLES:15.6 openssh-server to version 9.6p1-150600.6.6.1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh-server package and not the openssh-server package as distributed by SLES. See How to fix? for SLES:15.6 relevant fixed versions and status.

OpenSSH 9.5 through 9.7 before 9.8 sometimes allows timing attacks against echo-off password entry (e.g., for su and Sudo) because of an ObscureKeystrokeTiming logic error. Similarly, other timing attacks against keystroke entry could occur.
