If an enemy takes control of just one of the hosts you ssh into, he will get your private key and can use it to ssh into any other box where you use RSAAuthentication.


I already added the mitigation, but I wondering if my servers can be patched on the weekend.


There is nothing to patch on the server side. You need to ensure the ssh client is updated on the machines you are sshing from.
