OpenSSH 10.5 released, AI Welcome

>Recently the OpenSSH team have received a large number of security bug reports, many of which are findings from AI models or made with AI assistance. While many AI reports are determined not to have security impact when considered in the context of a realistic threat model, we very much welcome these reports, especially when combined with human triage, analysis, test-cases and particularly when accompanied by proposed fixes.

>We have seen a number of cases where a security bug identified by AI tools is subsequently independently discovered by a different researcher. This suggests that adversaries who do not report bugs to OSS projects are likely to be able to discover these bugs too. Given this, the OpenSSH team will, for now, be making more frequent releases to get bugfixes into users' hands more quickly rather than batching them until the next planned release.

Like most open source projects, AI-based fixes are coming in fast:
