> However, since this is an RCE in the context of e.g. an sshd process itself, this means that sshd running as root would allow the payload to itself run as root.

With the right sandboxing techniques, SELinux and mitigations could prevent the attacker from doing anything with root permissions. However, applying a sandbox to an SSH daemon effectively is very difficult.
