My Debian contributions this month were all sponsored by Freexian.

You can also support my work directly via Liberapay or GitHub Sponsors.

OpenSSH

I backported various security fixes from 10.3 to trixie, bookworm, bullseye, buster, and stretch. For trixie, I also backported several IPQoS fixes to line up with upstream’s traffic management settings and drop a rather hacky Debian-specific patch; this needed a quick follow-up fix.

I upgraded trixie-backports to 10.3.

I fixed openssh uses pidof but does not depend on procps.

PuTTY

I upgraded from 0.83 to 0.84.
