"
From the CHANGES file, Fixes:
Add "Strict KEX" support. This mitigates a SSH protocol flaw which lets
a MITM attacker silently remove packets immediately after the
first key exchange. At present the flaw does not seem to reduce Dropbear's
security (the only packet affected would be a server-sig-algs extension,
which is used for compatibility not security).
For Dropbear, chacha20-poly1305 is the only affected cipher.
Both sides of the connection must support Strict KEX for it to be used.
The protocol flaw is tracked as CVE-2023-48795, details
at https://terrapin-attack.com . Thanks to the researchers Fabian Bäumer,
Marcus Brinkmann, and Jörg Schwenk. Thanks to OpenSSH for specifying
strict KEX mode.
