Terrapin SSH Vulnerabilities

The podcast episode discusses a series of three vulnerabilities known as Terrapin that affect SSH. The first vulnerability allows an attacker to interfere during the SSH setup process and potentially disable newer features in OpenSSH. The second and third vulnerabilities specifically impact async SSH, a Python SSH server. While most users of Linux or BSD machines that utilize SSH are not at high risk, caution is advised for those who use third-party SSH apps on Android or Windows, such as Juice SSH or PuTTY. However, the vulnerabilities are being actively patched in OpenSSH, and ensuring both the client and server are updated should help mitigate the risks.
