3. Description:
The libssh2 packages provide a library that implements the SSHv2 protocol.
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)
Red Hat would like to thank Aris Adamantiadis for reporting this issue.
All libssh2 users are advised to upgrade to these updated packages, which
contain a backported patch to correct this issue. After installing these
updated packages, all running applications using libssh2 must be restarted
for this update to take effect.
