MitM-able since 6.8 (December 2014) only if

> VerifyHostKeyDNS is "yes" or "ask" (it is "no" by default),

And DOS-able since 9.5 (2023) because of a new ping command.

> To confirm our suspicion, we adopted a dual strategy:

> - we manually audited all of OpenSSH's functions that use "goto", for missing resets of their return value;

> - we wrote a CodeQL query that automatically searches for functions that "goto out" without resetting their return value in the corresponding "if" code block.
