Package : openssh Version : 1:8.4p1-5+deb11u5 CVE ID : CVE-2025-32728 Debian Bug : 1102603

Tim Rice discovered that the DisableForwarding directive was documented as disabling X11 and agent forwarding but it failed to do so.

For Debian 11 bullseye, this problem has been fixed in version 1:8.4p1-5+deb11u5.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.
