Paper on SSH insecurity

From: "Tadayoshi Kohno" <tkohno@cs.ucsd.edu>

As Wei Dai recently pointed out, the current SSH protocol is insecure (because of problems with way CBC mode is used).

In the paper

http://eprint.iacr.org/2002/078/

Mihir Bellare, Chanathip Namprempre, and I show how to provably fix the SSH protocol. We have placed a summary of our recommendations at

http://www-cse.ucsd.edu/users/tkohno/papers/SSH/sshadvice.html

We hope that our provable security results will be of use to the IETF SSH Working Group.

There are 2 versions of the SSH protocol.
Does this apply to SSHv1 or SSHv2 or both ?
