Non complaint with what exactly? 9.3 is available in the current
development release mantic. Note that 8.9 and 9.3 are major new upstream
releases of openssh with new features and bugfixes. And are not indication
of security vulnerabilities. When vulnerabilities arise, Ubuntu issues USN
and a distribution patch update addressing vulnerability alone without
upgrading to new major version. See https://ubuntu.com/security/notices

In jammy we have shipped a Ubuntu patch level update to address a poll()
issue. No other severe bugs or vulnerabilities are currently known in
openssh. If you can disclose a currently non public vulnerability affecting
openssh 8.9 through 9.3 you can do so by contacting Ubuntu Security
desclosure team at  secur...@ubuntu.com or opening an private security bug
report on launchpad against distribution Ubuntu package openssh.

Ps. Please do not use html signatures, especially those that contains ads,
when contacting public mailing lists of opensource projects as that is
considered off topic. You should be able to configure a different signature
when emailing mailing lists, or manually turn it off during compose in your
email client.

It most likely won't be.

"Ubuntu, like most other Linux distros, releases security updates by
patching specific issues rather than updating whole versions of
software." (https://wiki.ubuntu.com/SecurityTeam/FAQ#Versions)

If you are interested in the security patching status of a specific
vulnerability and know the CVE number of that vulnerability, you can
look it up here: https://ubuntu.com/security/cves

Is this a real question or a new way to distribute spam?

You can read about Ubuntu's patch policy at
https://wiki.ubuntu.com/StableReleaseUpdates .

Debian has similar policies and procedures, but Ubuntu's takes precedence
because of Canonical's administration of the distro.
