Hi,

You may have heard about "Plaintext Recovery Attack Against SSH"[1].

According to that issue,
                                                                    "A
  design flaw in the SSH specification allows an attacker with control
  over the network to recover up to 32 bits of plaintext from an
  SSH-protected connection in the standard configuration. The success
  probability in recovering 32 plaintext bits is 2^{-18} when attacking 
  the OpenSSH implementation of the SSH RFCs. A variant of the attack
  against the OpenSSH implementation verifiably recovers 14 plaintext bits with
  probability 2^{-14}. The recovered bits come from an arbitrary,
  attacker-selected block of ciphertext. The success probabilities for 
  other implementations are unknown (but are potentially much higher)."

As for the solution, that advisory has recommend to use ciphers in
"stateful-decryption counter"(SDCTR or CTR) mode in stead of in CBC mode.

Here is a patch to add the support for
  "aes128-ctr,aes192-ctr,aes256-ctr,3des-ctr"[2]
and enable to chose some of them in establishing the session by the default 
if they are available.
This patch depends on the CTR support in JCE(Java Cryptography Extension),
and Sun's J2SE 1.4.2(and the later) have supported it.
