Asymmetric denial of service - ReDoS In golang-go.crypto

Description

Previously, after a channel has been established, a malicious peer could send crafted messages that would deadlock the entire connection. Now, we handle all RFC 4254 channel messages; global requests are handled explicitly. Then, treat all other messages as a protocol error and tear the connection down instead of buffering and blocking.

Mitigation

Update Impact

Minimal update. May introduce new vulnerabilities or breaking changes.
