Upgrade level of OpenSSH from v8.6p1 to one which will pass scanning services.

We are getting dinged by Qualys that our IBM i is exposed to CVE-2023-51385.

I have applied the fixes listed at https://www.ibm.com/support/pages/node/7123159 however IBM only chose to patch an old level of OpenSSH instead of putting on a new level of OpenSSH. This means NOTHING to the scanning services.

    The CEAC has reviewed this requirement and recommends that IBM view this as a TOP20 priority requirement that is very important to address. It seems important to not fail scanning services.


    Without mandating a particular solution, we earnestly encourage IBM development to stay on top of OpenSSH and OpenSSL.

    Background: The COMMON Europe Advisory Council (CEAC) members have a broad range of experience in working with small and medium-sized IBM i customers. CEAC has a crucial role in working with IBM i development to help assess the value and impact of individual RFEs on the broader IBM i community and has therefore reviewed your RFE.
