Notes


seth-arnold

openssh-ssh1 is provided for compatibility with old devices that cannot be upgraded to modern protocols. Thus we may not provide security support for this package if doing so would prevent access to equipment. openssh-ssh1 is a *client-only* package, no server-side facility, so there is no path to leak data

watch for regressions, see debian ELA-37-3

for openss, cosmic is not affected, and so disco too.
