 ---------------------------------------------------------------------

  OTP-18897    Application(s): ssh

               With this change (being response to CVE-2023-48795),
               ssh can negotiate "strict KEX" OpenSSH extension with
               peers supporting it; also
               'chacha20-poly1305@REDACTED' algorithm becomes a
               less preferred cipher.

               If strict KEX availability cannot be ensured on both
               connection sides, affected encryption modes(CHACHA and
               CBC) can be disabled with standard ssh configuration.
               This will provide protection against vulnerability, but
               at a cost of affecting interoperability. See
               Configuring algorithms in SSH.
