            Bug ID: 3387
           Summary: Will future versions of openssh not support DHE
                    because of  "dheater" vulnerability :CVE-2002-20001?
           Product: Portable OpenSSH
           Version: 8.8p1
          Hardware: Other
                OS: All
            Status: NEW
          Severity: enhancement
          Priority: P5
         Component: sshd
          Assignee: unassigned-bugs at mindrot.org
          Reporter: rmsh1216 at 163.com

The Diffie-Hellman Key Agreement Protocol allows remote attackers (from
the client side) to send arbitrary numbers that are actually not public
keys, and trigger expensive server-side DHE modular-exponentiation
calculations, aka a D(HE)ater attack. We have repeated the attack when
establish ssh connections. What will openssh do to avoid dheater?
