CVE-2020-14145 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:22.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream openssh package and not the openssh package as distributed by Ubuntu.
The client side in OpenSSH 5.7 through 8.4 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). NOTE: some reports state that 8.5 and 8.6 are also affected.
