“Ok thanks- im pretty sure I run the newest mint- but will check when I get home.”

OK, I found something very useful for next time this happens so add it to your “useful commands” list everyone should have. I should have thought of it sooner.

“All versions of OpenSSH earlier than 4.4p1 are vulnerable, unless they have applied patches for both CVE-2006-5051 and CVE-2008-4109. Versions from 8.5p1 up to but not including 9.8p1 are also vulnerable. Versions 4.4p1 up to but not including 8.5p1 are unaffected due to CVE-2006-5051 being patched as standard.”

Here is how you check your versions of everything including OpenSSH.

” apt list —installed “

Here is mine:

openssh-client/focal-updates,focal-security,now 1:8.2p1-4ubuntu0.11 amd64 [installed]

So I am good. And if I ever update it... It will already come with the new patch included.
