OpenSSH 10.6 Released

OpenSSH 10.6 was released on October 6, 2026, with a focus on more frequent security updates following an increase in bug reports from AI models and researchers. The team plans to release patches more quickly rather than batching them, recognizing that security vulnerabilities identified by AI tools may also be discovered by malicious actors. The release includes deprecation notices for the scp -R flag and support for older platforms requiring root privilege for PTY allocation.
