Hi Colin,

The following vulnerability was published for openssh. This is for now
just to track the issue as pointed out by a current paper. Apparently
openssh and sudo got CVEs assigned for their respective issues.

CVE-2023-51767[0]:
| OpenSSH through 9.6, when common types of DRAM are used, might allow
| row hammer attacks (for authentication bypass) because the integer
| value of authenticated in mm_answer_authpassword does not resist
| flips of a single bit. NOTE: this is applicable to a certain threat
| model of attacker-victim co-location in which the attacker has user
| privileges.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
