Security Fix(es):
NetworkManager: An exploitable denial of service vulnerability exists in systemd which does not fully implement RFC3203, as it does not support authentication of FORCERENEW packets. A specially crafted DHCP FORCERENEW packet can cause a system, running the DHCP client, to be vulnerable to a DHCP ACK spoofing attack. An attacker can forge a pair of FORCERENEW and DCHPACK packets to reconfigure the system with arbitrary network settings.(CVE-2020-13529)
NetworkManager: bugfix
openssh: A flaw was found in OpenSSH. Helper programs for AuthorizedKeysCommand and AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand may run with privileges associated with group memberships of the sshd process, if the configuration specifies running the command as a different user. Depending on system configuration, inherited groups may allow AuthorizedKeysCommand/AuthorizedPrincipalsCommand helper programs to gain unintended privileges, potentially leading to local privilege escalation.(CVE-2021-41617)
openssh: bugfix
