    Summary: Updated openssh packages fix a security vulnerability

    Details: 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) (CVE-2020-14145).
