| [CVE-2026-59998](https://patchblox.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2026-59998.md) | Routine | sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 has an undocumented security-relevant behavior: GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck has no value if the server is in Windows Active Directory. | 6.5 | 0.0018 |  |
| [CVE-2026-59997](https://patchblox.com/security/data/cve/CVE-2026-59997.md) | Routine | internal-sftp in sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 recognizes only the first 9 command-line arguments, which can be important if a later command-line argument would have helped to ensure the intended security properties of an SFTP connection. | 6.5 | 0.0018 |  |
