CISA-2020-14145 PUBLISHED CVSS 5.9 MEDIUM

Reported by mitre · Published June 29, 2020

The client side in OpenSSH 5.7 through 8.4 has an Observable Discrepancy leading to an information leak in the algorithm negotiation. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to target initial connection attempts (where no host key for the server has been cached by the client). NOTE: some reports state that 8.5 and 8.6 are also affected.
