Bug description:
The OpenSSH package 8.9p1 as shipped with U22.04 (8.9p1-3) suffers from the
bug described at
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3411 and
https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=3405
A command such as "xterm -e 'ssh -f remote.host sleep 60'" will pop up
an xterm, ask for whatever authentication is needed, close the xterm,
and leave the ssh client spinning consuming CPU time for 60 seconds
before it exits. It should leave the ssh client idle for 60 seconds.
Many uses of ssh to launch graphical applications will be caught by
this bug.
This is fixed in OpenSSH 9.0p1 as the first bugfix listed in its
release notes at https://www.openssh.com/txt/release-9.0
