Description Robb Gatica 2023-12-19 19:01:52 UTC

In ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 9.6, when adding PKCS#11-hosted private keys while specifying destination constraints, if the PKCS#11 token returned multiple keys then only the first key had the constraints applied. Use of regular private keys, FIDO tokens and unconstrained keys are unaffected.
