The versions of OpenSSH up to 4.4p1, plus versions from 8.5p1 to 9.7p1 running on glibc-Linux, are vulnerable. The latest version on Openssh was released on July 1, 2024. So when will the latest version of OpenSSH be available in Ubuntu versions 20.04, and 22.04?
Please make this as soon as possible, because the compile installation has some security issues. So it will be good if Ubuntu officially releases the latest version.
In future, before asking similar questions, check out Ubuntu CVE Reports. Chances are, the patch is already applied to the appropriate package in Ubuntu.
