This regression update follows up on an upstream regression update [1]
regarding CVE-2019-3859.

With the previous libssh2 package revision, it was observed that user
authentication with private/public key pairs would fail under certain
circumstances.

1.4.3-4.1+deb8u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libssh2 packages.
