Synopsis: Moderate: libssh2 security update
Advisory ID: SLSA-2016:0428-1
Issue Date: 2016-03-10
CVE Numbers: CVE-2016-0787
—
A type confusion issue was found in the way libssh2 generated ephemeral
secrets for the diffie-hellman-group1 and diffie-hellman-group14 key
exchange methods. This would cause an SSHv2 Diffie-Hellman handshake to
use significantly less secure random parameters. (CVE-2016-0787)
After installing these updated packages, all running applications using
libssh2 must be restarted for this update to take effect.
