What happened
Qualys has flagged a Linux kernel vulnerability — the fourth kernel flaw reported this month — that can be used to steal SSH host private keys. Upstream patches are available, but fixes have not yet propagated to all Linux distributions. System administrators are advised to apply vendor/kernel patches as soon as they land, rotate/reissue exposed SSH host keys, audit for signs of compromise, and follow distro-specific mitigation guidance until all systems are updated.
