Package: openssh-server
Version: 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u3
Severity: normal
X-Debbugs-Cc: sa-dev@odd.systems

Dear Maintainer,

When an SSH client connects with the `-v` option for verbose logging,
the OpenSSH server discloses the full path to the `authorized_keys` file
and specific key options in use. This information is exposed in the
debug logs during the handshake process:

debug1: Remote: /...path.../authorized_keys:1: key options: command
debug1: Remote: /...path.../authorized_keys:1: key options:
agent-forwarding port-forwarding pty user-rc x11-forwarding

This behavior can undermine the security of a restricted shell setup by
revealing sensitive configuration details.

Steps to Reproduce:
1. Connect to the SSH server using an SSH client with the `-v` option.
2. Observe the debug output revealing the full path and key options.

Expected Behavior:
The server should not disclose sensitive information such as file paths
or specific key options in verbose logs, preserving configuration
confidentiality.

Thank you for addressing this issue.
