RE: ssh on Debian, not connecting to OpenBSD 2.7 ["Disconnecting: Bad packet length 1349676916"]
Through empiric testing, I have discovered that this is caused (for me at
least) by a problem in the way that OpenSSL has coded the new Rijndael/AES
implementation.
Allegedly, this has been fixed in the CVS tree, but YMMV as I have not had a
chance to try it yet.
To check this, look at your ssh_config files to see which alogorhythm you
are using by default and if it is AES, switch to 3DES and try to connect.

solved all the issues + corrected some vulnerabilities at the same time.

well on this side too you need to upgrade to 2.5.1.
