USN-7270-1 fixed a vulnerability in OpenSSH. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS and Ubuntu 18.04 LTS.
Original advisory details:
It was discovered that the OpenSSH client incorrectly handled the non-default VerifyHostKeyDNS option. If that option were enabled, an attacker could possibly impersonate a server by completely bypassing the server identity check. (CVE-2025-26465)
