Vendor Statement

Markus Friedl of OpenSSH writes:

"OpenSSH-2.2.0 and later fix this problem by imposing a limit to the numbers of allowed connections. Versions earlier than 2.3.0 should not be used, because the suffer the CRC32 bug.

"Later versions of OpenSSH (2.5.* and later) add additional countermeasures (like not calling fatal() on RSA operation failures and adding random cookies for each new generated server key, see the source for defails)."
