NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh-ssh1 package and not the openssh-ssh1 package as distributed by Ubuntu.

ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 8.5 has a double free that may be relevant in a few less-common scenarios, such as unconstrained agent-socket access on a legacy operating system, or the forwarding of an agent to an attacker-controlled host.
