Public bug reported:
SSHD closes the connection and logs the error message below when a
client presents a protoversion of "1.99":
Protocol major versions differ for X.X.X.X port X:
SSH-2.0-OpenSSH_7.6p1 Ubuntu-4ubuntu0.3 vs. SSH-1.99-XXX
RFC 4253 only states that clients should treat a server's protoversion
of "1.99" as equivalent to "2.0"; however, some backward-compatible
clients send a protoversion of "1.99" and expect the server to treat it
as "2.0".
This regression was introduced in openssh-portable 7.6p1 from commit
97f4d3083; fixes were implemented in commits 9e9c4a7e5 and c9c1bba06.
I've attached a patch with both of those fixes.
** Affects: openssh (Ubuntu)
Importance: Undecided
