How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:11 openssh to version 1:4.7p1-10 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh package and not the openssh package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:11 relevant fixed versions and status.

The ssh-vulnkey tool on Ubuntu Linux 7.04, 7.10, and 8.04 LTS does not recognize authorized_keys lines that contain options, which makes it easier for remote attackers to exploit CVE-2008-0166 by guessing a key that was not identified by this tool.
