+openssh (1:9.9p1-1) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ OpenSSH 9.9p1 includes a number of changes that may affect existing
+ configurations:
+
+ * ssh(1): remove support for pre-authentication compression. OpenSSH has
+ only supported post-authentication compression in the server for some
+ years. Compression before authentication significantly increases the
+ attack surface of SSH servers and risks creating oracles that reveal
+ information about information sent during authentication.
+
+ * ssh(1), sshd(8): processing of the arguments to the "Match"
+ configuration directive now follows more shell-like rules for quoted
+ strings, including allowing nested quotes and \-escaped characters. If
+ configurations contained workarounds for the previous simplistic quote
+ handling then they may need to be adjusted. If this is the case, it's
+ most likely to be in the arguments to a "Match exec" condition. In this
+ case, moving the command to be evaluated from the Match line to an
+ external shell script is the easiest way to preserve compatibility with
+ both the old and new versions.

+openssh (1:9.8p1-5) unstable; urgency=medium
+
+ Future Debian releases will remove GSS-API authentication and key exchange
+ support from openssh-client and openssh-server; this adds
+ pre-authentication attack surface and should only be used where
+ specifically needed. Users of GSS-API authentication or key exchange
+ should install the new openssh-client-gssapi or openssh-server-gssapi
+ package now; these currently just depend on openssh-client and
+ openssh-server respectively, but this will change in the future.
