USN-8222-1 fixed a vulnerability in OpenSSH. This update provides the corresponding fix for Ubuntu 16.04 LTS.
Original advisory details:
Vladimir Tokarev discovered that OpenSSH incorrectly handled certificates with the principal name containing a comma character when using user-trusted CA keys in authorizedkeys and an authorizedkeys principals="" option that lists more than one principal. This could result in inappropriate principal matching, contrary to expectations. (CVE-2026-35414)
