ssh: validate key type in SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_PK_OK response
Browse files Browse the repository at this point in the history
According to RFC 4252 Section 7 the algorithm in SSH_MSG_USERAUTH_PK_OK
should match that of the request but some servers send the key type instead.
OpenSSH checks for the key type, so we do the same.

Fixes golang/go#66438
Fixes golang/go#64785
Fixes golang/go#56342
Fixes golang/go#54027
