From 642a1c3843c9c824a6fbcee4d340d711bc049aa9 Mon Sep 17 00:00:00 2001 From: Xin LI Date: Wed, 2 Nov 2016 06:43:20 +0000 Subject: [PATCH] Apply upstream fix for CVE-2016-8858: Unregister the KEXINIT handler after message has been received. Otherwise an unauthenticated peer can repeat the KEXINIT and cause allocation of up to 128MB -- until the connection is closed.
