[Bug 1526357] Re: Fix broken handling of first_kex_follows clients

[Matt Johnston]

** Description changed:

- OpenSSH 6.8 to 7.1 has a regression that breaks connections from clients
- that use SSH first_kex_follows feature. This affects connections from
- the Dropbear SSH client (dbclient), they fail with "bad hostkey
- signature" or similar. It may affect ssh.com clients too.
+ OpenSSH versions between 6.8 and 7.1 inclusive have a regression that
+ breaks connections from clients that use SSH first_kex_follows feature.
+ This affects connections from the Dropbear SSH client (dbclient), they
+ fail with "bad hostkey signature" or similar. It may affect ssh.com
+ clients too.
  
  This has been fixed in upstream in the attached patch, it would be
  worthwhile including in Xenial if it's going to ship with the current
  OpenSSH 7.1. Upstream change 1.115 http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-
  bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/kex.c
  
  https://bugzilla.mindrot.org/show_bug.cgi?id=2515#c6 Comment 6 is the
  upstream bug report (ignore the rest of the bug about new diffie-hellman
  algorithms)
