"We originally looked at a code change for this issue, but after further review of design documentation, changes to code could break compatibility with functionality used by many applications."

Year of the Linux (Server|Desktop). Seriously. If you are in IT pls look into this (and hide your RDP server behind some VPN. No not MS RDP Gateway.)

hide your RDP server behind some VPN

Anyone who isn't doing this already is dumb. Same goes for exposing ssh publicly. I don't care that you're using a cert to log in, if there's a 0 day in the openssh server you're boned

If there's a 0 day in the VPN software then I'm also probably boned. The chances of that seem on par with the likelihood of an openssh vulnerability? I feel like vpns are useful to secure services without good authentication, but their use in front of an openssh server has never made much sense to me.

They would have to breach the vpn and then also breach the other services once they're on your network. It's another layer of protection.
