I think that the OP(the article author) is not looking at this the right way. Like yea it sucks another exploit is found, but it's not like if it wasn't found it doesn't exist.

I think its much better to have them published and fixed then to live in blissful ignorance when someone could be exploiting it in the wild.

It's listed as medium severity and appears to require the hacker to already have terminal access to the system. It's also already patched and there's a quick and easy workaround if your distro doesn't have the fix yet.

But careful not to update too fast and fall on the supply chain attack of the week.

That's difficult. Openssh is coded in C, not js.

Pretty sure that was in the bible.

Proverbs 25:16 - If you find honey, eat just enough - too much of it, and you will vomit.

Could update that to be: If you find updates, apply them - too soon though, and you will vomit your credentials.

That's what we call job security, I suppose.

Oh good. Nothing too serious, then.
