    Debian Bug     : 1127693 1142537

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in libssh, a tiny C SSH library,
    which may result in denial of service, information disclosure and
    potentially the execution of arbitrary code.

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 0.11.5-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your libssh packages.

    For the detailed security status of libssh please refer to its security
    tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libssh

    Further information about Debian Security Advisories, how to apply
    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
    found at: https://www.debian.org/security/
