Fabian Bäumer, Marcus Brinkmann, Jörg Schwenk discovered that the SSH

was able to intercept SSH communications, extension negotiation messages
could be truncated, possibly leading to certain algorithms and features
being downgraded. This issue is known as the Terrapin attack. This update
adds protocol extensions to mitigate this issue.
