OpenSSH Encryption Flawed?

Great, it looks like I am not able to have the same confidence in OpenSSH that I once had. Or perhaps, this is not that big of a deal after all? To be fair though, the odds are pretty low that I have anything to worry about so long as I take the usual precautions. Well that and the fact that even https access on websites, can be exploited to a degree with the right know-how.

But this kind of alert does pose the question: just how much concern should we have over these types of situations? Is SSH still safe for daily use? My thinking is a qualified yes, with the understanding that their are always exploits out there, in the wild or not, that can be used against us.

Yes, I still feel that OpenSSH is a worthwhile tool. Especially when accessing one’s desktop files via SFTP, for maximum ease. I am also a big fan of using remote desktop via ssh -x as it allows me that PCAnywhere type experience.
