Description
- In previous versions of openssh, the default cipher order preferred a
- block cipher algorithm in Cipher Block Chaining (CBC) mode, which is
- suspectible to a plaintext recovery attack. This update changes the
- cipher order to prefer the AES CTR modes, and adds countermeasures
- to mitigate attacks against CBC modes.
