Those could lead to a denial of service by making an SSH client linked to libssh crash, and maybe even arbitrary code execution.
For the stable distribution (squeeze), these problems have been fixed in version 0.4.5-3+squeeze1.
For the testing distribution (wheezy), these problems have been fixed in version 0.5.3-1.
For the unstable distribution (sid), these problems have been fixed in version 0.5.3-1.
