Hi Colin,
CVE-2015-5352 was assigned to this change from 6.9:

>  * ssh(1): when forwarding X11 connections with ForwardX11Trusted=no,
>    connections made after ForwardX11Timeout expired could be permitted
>    and no longer subject to XSECURITY restrictions because of an
>    ineffective timeout check in ssh(1) coupled with "fail open"
>    behaviour in the X11 server when clients attempted connections with
>    expired credentials. This problem was reported by Jann Horn.

Fix:
https://anongit.mindrot.org/openssh.git/commit/?h=V_6_9&id=1bf477d3cdf1a864646d59820878783d42357a1d

I don't think this warrants a DSA, we can line up the fix for a future
DSA or a jessie point update. Or do yo disagree?

Cheers,
        Moritz
