But I was not able to get a clear picture of the same. Can someone explain in detail about this "Plaintext Recovery Attack against SSH" ? >From the above advisory, it appears that there are two approaches that could be adopted, as a solution to this vulnerability; By enabling of CTR-mode ciphers only. or By configuration of connection retries.(Can somebody provide more details) If the second approach of connection retries is to be adopted, what is the proposed solution ?
