CVE-2024-6387: RCE in OpenSSH's server, on glibc-based Linux systems (seclists.org)

Regression in signal handler.

This vulnerability is exploitable remotely on glibc-based Linux systems, where syslog() itself calls async-signal-unsafe functions (for example, malloc() and free()): an unauthenticated remote code execution as root, because it affects sshd's privileged code, which is not sandboxed and runs with full privileges.

Oh, I can't find any examples. What are you searching for?
The closest I can find is an old hlsl offhand comment showing the syntax in isolation, but no example.
