What happened
A long-standing flaw affects some Linux systems, including Alpine, that use a particular core library called musl to run secure remote login. The reported problem lets an attacker get in using a password of a certain long length, and it affects containers, routers and smart devices, so the affected systems need the emergency updates.

- Check containers, routers and IoT devices for OpenSSH running on musl and update them.
- Restrict SSH access to affected systems until the update is installed.
