This poses a security problem, since one is either stuck with the older version in bookworm (containing bugs that were fixed in this release) or has to install/backport libssl from trixie/sid.

This is the Depends from openssh-server in 
bookworm-proposed-updates:

   Package: openssh-server
   Source: openssh
   Version: 1:9.2p1-2+deb12u5
   ...
   Depends: ..., libssl3 (>= 3.0.15), ...

However this is fine, as bookworm already has libssl3 
3.0.15-1~deb12u1. Note that it's really in bookworm, not in 
bookworm-security.

Your system seems to be missing out on packages that are _in_ 
bookworm ("stable").


Hope this helps,
