Server closed connection during identification exchange in kernel version Linux 5.4.0-91-generic x86_64 with latest version of sshj 0.33.0

Facing exception "Server closed connection during identification exchange" in kernel version "Linux 5.4.0-91-generic x86_64" with latest version of sshj 0.33.0

The above exception occurs for the following segment -

LocalPortForwarder localPortForwarderObj;
SSHClient clientSsh;
Parameters params;
ServerSocket serversocket;

this.localPortForwarderObj = this.clientSsh.newLocalPortForwarder(this.params, this.serversocket);
this.localPortForwarderObj.listen(); // this lines gives the following exception

where the same is working fine with kernel version "Linux 4.15.0-142-generic x86_64".

What changes need to be done to make it work ?
