In case your security team raises a concern regarding the upgrading of the openssh server version on the ubuntu servers kindly refer to the openssh version based on the distribution before making any changes as this can effect the overall reachability to the server
Following are the latest openssh version based on the distribution
Following are the latest openssh version based on the distribution
OpenSSH 6.6 is the most recent version on Ubuntu 14.04.
OpenSSH 7.2 is the most recent version on Ubuntu 16.04.
OpenSSH 7.6 is the most recent version on Ubuntu 18.04.
Openssh 7.6 is supported on the Ubuntu 18.04 only and Ubuntu 14.04 is not compliant with it. Thats why its not upgraded during the patching activity.
Like all the other distribution ubuntu also backports the vulnerabilities so that the application compatibility doesn't break by changing versions between different distributions.
Dont make any changes to your server which are not compatible with your distribution version.
Go on providing the version of the ubuntu you are running.
