From the report:

> Finally, if sshd cannot be updated or recompiled, this signal handler race condition can be fixed by simply setting LoginGraceTime to 0 in the configuration file. This makes sshd vulnerable to a denial of service (the exhaustion of all MaxStartups connections), but it makes it safe from the remote code execution presented in this advisory.

Setting 'LoginGraceTime 0' in sshd_config file seems to mitigate the issue.
