1 important issue:

CVE-2026-110928:

20 issues left for the package maintainer to handle:

CVE-2026-55654: (needs triaging) A flaw was found in OpenSSH. This vulnerability, a heap out-of-bounds read, occurs during the cleanup of GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Programming Interface) indicators when a trailing NULL termination is missing in the auth-indicators array. A remote attacker, under specific configurations involving GSSAPI authentication and a Kerberos environment, could exploit this to cause the SSH authentication path to crash or abort. This leads to a denial of service (DoS), impacting the availability of the SSH service.
CVE-2026-59995: (needs triaging) sftp in OpenSSH before 10.4 does not properly constrain the location of downloaded files when "sftp server:/path ." is used with an attacker-controlled server.
CVE-2026-59996: (needs triaging) scp in OpenSSH before 10.4 may place a file in the parent directory of an intended directory when the copy occurs between two remote destinations.
CVE-2026-59997: (needs triaging) internal-sftp in sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 recognizes only the first 9 command-line arguments, which can be important if a later command-line argument would have helped to ensure the intended security properties of an SFTP connection.
CVE-2026-59998: (needs triaging) sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 has an undocumented security-relevant behavior: GSSAPIStrictAcceptorCheck has no value if the server is in Windows Active Directory.
CVE-2026-59999: (needs triaging) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4, DisableForwarding=yes was supposed to take precedence over PermitTunnel=yes, but did not.
CVE-2026-60000: (needs triaging) sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (resource consumption from excessive authentication attempts) because MaxAuthTries was mishandled for GSSAPIAuthentication.
CVE-2026-60001: (needs triaging) sshd in OpenSSH before 10.4 does not always honor the minimum authentication delay.
CVE-2026-60002: (needs triaging) ssh in OpenSSH before 10.4 can have a use-after-free when a server changes its host key during a key re-exchange. (This outcome occurs only on the client side.)
CVE-2026-73281: (needs triaging) In ssh-agent in OpenSSH before 10.5, some operations can occur remotely but were intended to occur only locally, including operations that add tokens or use keys. This is caused by misinteraction between agent locking and the session-bind@openssh.com extension.
CVE-2026-73282: (needs triaging) In ssh in OpenSSH before 10.5, a use-after-free for realloc data can occur if a certain pair of remote-forwarding operations are concurrent.
CVE-2026-73283: (needs triaging) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.5, the restrict keyword (in authorized_keys) was supposed to be applicable to tunnel forwarding but was not.
CVE-2026-106552: (needs triaging) In sftp in OpenSSH before 10.6, a server can trigger directory traversal (causing files to be written to unintended locations) during a recursive copy operation.
CVE-2026-106553: (needs triaging) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, credentials can incorrectly persist after failure of a GSSAPIAuthentication authentication attempt.
CVE-2026-106555: (needs triaging) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, GSSAPIAuthentication authentication state can incorrectly be persisted across authentication attempts.
CVE-2026-106582: (needs triaging) In sshd and ssh in OpenSSH before 10.6, an LZ77 dictionary coder can be used even though this is contraindicated by the arXiv 2609.07709 "Crossing the Streams" findings.
CVE-2026-106583: (needs triaging) In ssh in OpenSSH before 10.6, a $ or \ character can occur in a command-line username, leading to injection.
CVE-2026-106585: (needs triaging) In sshd and ssh in OpenSSH before 10.6, there is no check for whether the maximum packet length is exceeded during decompression of highly compressed data.
CVE-2026-106586: (needs triaging) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, the restrict keyword (in authorized_keys) was supposed to be applicable to tunnel forwarding but was not, a different vulnerability than CVE-2026-73283.
CVE-2026-106587: (needs triaging) In sshd in OpenSSH before 10.6, the value "none" for a configuration option is sometimes interpreted as a filename but was intended to mean that a feature is disabled.

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

commit e4cf7cec3d9d5b9b6c373bcd7f9471daf3a388e2

commit fa688ee4ab0245fc699dd93ee0a09d736ef069b4
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Oct 11 15:13:04 2026 +0100

    Add isolation-container restriction
    
    While we might be able to get away without this in some cases,
    installing openssh-server/openssh-server-gssapi may involve starting
    services, so let's not push it.

commit eb313123e4a4a08c1509ebedc2393a50a2c898d4

Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Oct 11 14:39:51 2026 +0100

    Make xinetd autopkgtest listen on port 2222, not 22
    
    This may make it less likely to fail in CI.

commit 7ac18ce7f402af6c30c0afbb22293e25f37f8c23
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Oct 11 13:48:59 2026 +0100

    Try harder to restart xinetd in autopkgtest
    
    Just reloading it sometimes mysteriously fails in CI with "Job for
    xinetd.service canceled."  Do a full restart instead, and wait for it to
    come back up.

commit 24dcdf1aa5fafd20da139fc463ab1d11d32ce829
Author: Colin Watson <cjwatson@debian.org>
Date:   Sun Oct 11 09:57:47 2026 +0100

    Run regress and non-regress autopkgtests in parallel
    
    The `regress` test takes much longer than the others, so these can
    usefully be parallelized.

commit 0cca73818244c1018d93876bb485d83de3239806
Author: Andreas Hasenack <andreas.hasenack@canonical.com>
Date:   Thu Oct 8 20:26:19 2026 -0300

    d/t/purge-keeps-config-with-counterpart: test for purge
    
    Test to validate that switching to the openssh counterparts and then
    purging the removed packages keeps the configuration intact.

commit 63f7b864252a97b7de9d831811f90ee46a827588

Date:   Wed Oct 7 12:06:06 2026 +0100

    debian/tests/xinetd: Make failure logs more useful
    
    We stop ssh.service for this test, so its logs aren't especially useful.
    Show logs from xinetd.service instead.
