commit 0e02cd7b4e863db0c0f3d158cf6abbb4bf5dac58
Merge: 2d7033ef 6818014c
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>

    Merge branch 'deluser' into 'master'
    
    Stop deleting system user on remove/purge
    
    See merge request ssh-team/openssh!38

commit 6818014c9f35bda4040d4ced7c40feb2b2a9b744
Author: Luca Boccassi <luca.boccassi@gmail.com>
Date:   Thu Feb 19 11:14:48 2026 +0000

    Stop deleting system user on remove/purge
    
    This is widely considered bad practice, as the kernel recycles
    UIDs/GIDs. So any potential leftover file/directory can then
    become owned by the next user/group that gets added, with
    unpredictable consequences.

2 low-priority security issues in trixie low

There are 2 open security issues in trixie.

2 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2025-61984: (needs triaging) ssh in OpenSSH before 10.1 allows control characters in usernames that originate from certain possibly untrusted sources, potentially leading to code execution when a ProxyCommand is used. The untrusted sources are the command line and %-sequence expansion of a configuration file. (A configuration file that provides a complete literal username is not categorized as an untrusted source.)
CVE-2025-61985: (needs triaging) ssh in OpenSSH before 10.1 allows the '\0' character in an ssh:// URI, potentially leading to code execution when a ProxyCommand is used.

You can find information about how to handle these issues in the security team's documentation.

Standards version of the package is outdated. wishlist

The package should be updated to follow the last version of Debian Policy (Standards-Version 4.7.3 instead of 4.6.2).
