Description
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.
The vulnerability exists due to an error in the ssh-agent, which causes certain destination constraints to be incompletely applied. When destination constraints are specified during addition of PKCS#11-hosted private keys, these constraints are only applied to the first key, even if a PKCS#11 token returns multiple keys.
Remediation
Install updates from vendor's website.
