2 important issues:

CVE-2025-61984: 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: ssh in OpenSSH before 10.1 allows the '\0' character in an ssh:// URI, potentially leading to code execution when a ProxyCommand is used.

- ∙ ∙ autopkgtest for openssh/1:10.2p1-1: amd64: Pass, arm64: Pass, i386: Pass, ppc64el: Pass, riscv64: Pass, s390x: Pass
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on amd64 - info ♻
- ∙ ∙ Reproducible on arm64 - info ♻
