Description John Helmert III archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2021-01-02 06:29:31 UTC 
CVE-2020-14145:

The client side in OpenSSH 5.7 through 8.3 has an Observable Discrepancy leading to an information leak in the algorithm negotiation. This allows man-in-the-middle attackers to target initial connection attempts (where no host key for the server has been cached by the client).
