Tenables Nessus has flagged our servers as vulnerable with OpenSSH 9.9p1 installed saying :

"The version of OpenSSH installed on the remote host is prior to 9.9p2. It is, therefore, affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the release-9.9p2 advisory. sshd(8) in OpenSSH versions 9.5p1 to 9.9p1 (inclusive) is vulnerable to a memory/CPU denial-of-service related to the handling of SSH2_MSG_PING packets. This condition may be mitigated using the existing PerSourcePenalties feature"

Please provide an ETA for a fix.

Thanks
