Authentication bypass by password in OpenSSH with musl libc: libxcrypt also appears in the discussion
A November 6 post on the oss-sec list by Michael Orlitzky says musl is not the only implementation with this behavior and cites libxcrypt as another case. Security source, not a guide.
According to the text received from the oss-sec list feed, Michael Orlitzky posted on November 6 a reply to the thread titled “sshole”, which concerns a password authentication bypass in OpenSSH when combined with musl libc. He notes that musl is not the only implementation with this behavior and points to libxcrypt as another example, referencing a section of the project’s configure.ac file on GitHub. The text received does not include a vulnerability identifier, affected versions or a fix, so this summary does not state any of those. To consult and verify, read the original thread in the public archive of the oss-sec list, from the November 2026 issues, and check the libxcrypt repository and the official OpenSSH and musl advisories for what has been confirmed. Relevance to Rota Nacional: the platform has no capability tied to this topic, and Rota does not solve the engineering problem described.
