If I’m not mistaken, it seems like this is a timing attack and you need a lot of attack attempts to make it work. If you have like a fail2ban rule for ssh it should mitigate this attack to quite some degree, right? (Of course updating would still be the best).

While statistically unlikely, it would be possible to exploit the vulnerability on the first attempt
