Insight
Insight
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.
