Jenkins master can't connect to Subversion, but slave can

I am using Subversion plugin in Jenkins. My master machine (Windows) is unable to connect to SVN server (using Apache Subversion v1.7) via svn+ssh throwing exception

In projects configuration in Jenkins is shown, that something is not in order with message "Unable to access the repository"

However, when I run the same project on my slave machine, the connection is successful, and Jenkins does not show in console any error. svn update command finishes successfully. Both my master and slave machines are Windows server VMs with. Connection from master to SVN from TortoiseSVN is successful, and I am able to checkout the repository. I used SVN few years without problems, Subversion plugin was just installed to Jenkins.

Found similar issues e.g. Jenkins Master-Slave: Key exchange was not finished, connection is closed or https://support.tmatesoft.com/t/svn-e210002-svnkit-doesnt-connect-to-remote-repository/2480/13, with solution to edit config file /etc/ssh/sshd_config on svn server, but I don't think that can be the issue, since from slave machine the connection is successful. I checked also Java version, they are the same on both windows servers.

Tried also different credential types, public key authentication and user/pw from scm console of Jenkins [jenkinsUrl]/scm/SubversionSCM/enterCredential but it throws the same error, just from the line Fatal error during MAC startup!

edit: On SVN server in /var/log/secure there is Connection closed message from my master machine (10.74.37.1), no other error or details. From slave machine (10.74.37.28) the connection is accepted

Dec  5 14:47:11 xlcppt28 sshd[24808]: Connection closed by 10.74.37.1 port 57664 [preauth]
Dec  5 14:47:13 xlcppt28 sshd[24811]: Accepted password for arpc_ta from 10.74.37.28 port 57941 ssh2
Dec  5 14:47:13 xlcppt28 sshd[24811]: pam_unix(sshd:session): session opened for user arpc_ta by (uid=0)

Solution

Problem was resolved with updating Jenkins and then every plugin in Jenkins (as my Jenkins server is offline, that wasn't 2 clicks..) I also updated Java.
