Description:
In the wake of the XZ
backdoor , the Debian project has revisited some of the
patches included in its OpenSSH packages to improve security. The outcome of this is that the project
will be splitting out support for Kerberos key exchange into a
separate set of packages, though not until after the Debian13
("trixie") release expected next year. The impact on Debian users
should be minimal, but it is an interesting look into the changes
Linux distributions make to upstream software as well as some of the
long-term consequences of those choices.
