  "summary": "Prevent DoS on deadlocked undecided channel in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh",
  "details": "Previously, a channel registered in the mux's chanList is not usable until it is established. A malicious peer was able flood the channel's incomingRequests, deadlocking the entire connection.\n\nNow, we add an atomic established state, set when a channel becomes usable. Until such a time, handlePacket drops every packet other than the open confirmation/failure, without blocking and without tearing down the connection.",
