Seems slightly confusing that the OpenSSH release notes page says:

> This release contains a critical security workaround that affects Linux systems that use the musl libc and PAM disabled.

But that there's nothing about it on their security page.

Even if it's not technically a bug in their code, the fact that they've made a "critical" release to address it suggests that it should probably be listed on the security page as well. But maybe (hopefully) they just haven't updated the security page yet.

musl only, the quick fix:

     PasswordAuthentication=no

Which is a good advice in general.

Workaround? Why not a fix?

I'm sure some people running lightweight containers just had a heart attack.

I presume Dropbear, thus musl-based OpenWrt routers are also not affected? Not that Dropbear has been an example in that regard.
