server to consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack The mitigations to prevent this type of attack were implemented in Apache MINA SSHD 2.12.0, both client and server side. Users are recommended to upgrade to at least this version. Note that both the client and the server implementation must have mitigations applied against this issue, otherwise the connection may still be affected.

Per-CVE control mapping for this CVE has not run yet; the list below is derived from the weakness types (CWEs) cited in the NVD entry.
Proper validation of integrity check values is required for reliable tamper detection, directly reducing undetected modification risks.
Requires validation of integrity check values on every resolution response, directly mitigating tampered or corrupted DNS data.
Control mandates proper validation of integrity values (checksums) on prepared data, making flawed validation of those checks ineffective for attackers.
Requires use of proper integrity verification tools, reducing the chance an incorrect check value is accepted.
Requires proper validation of integrity mechanisms, directly mitigating flawed check-value handling.
