This behavior probably didn't cause any outright errors, but it doesn't seem
to conform to the RFCs and could cause (non-infinite) feedback loops in some
scenarios (usually those involving Paramiko on both ends).
+- :bug:`1283 (1.17+)` Fix exploit (CVE pending) in Paramiko's server mode
+ (**not** client mode) where hostile clients could trick the server into
+ thinking they were authenticated without actually submitting valid
+ authentication.
+
+ Specifically, steps have been taken to start separating client and server
+ related message types in the message handling tables within ``Transport`` and
+ ``AuthHandler``; this work is not complete but enough has been performed to
+ close off this particular exploit (which was the only obvious such exploit
+ for this particular channel).
+
+ Thanks to Daniel Hoffman for the detailed report.
- :support:`1292 backported` Backport changes from :issue:`979` (added in
Paramiko 2.3) to Paramiko 2.0-2.2, using duck-typing to preserve backwards
compatibility. This allows these older versions to use newer Cryptography
