Several vulnerabilities were discovered in the Erlang/OTP implementation of the SSH protocol, which may result in denial of service or the execution of arbitrary code.

For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in version 1:25.2.3+dfsg-1+deb12u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your erlang packages.
