+ <background>
+ <p>libssh is a mulitplatform C library implementing the SSHv2 and SSHv1
+ protocol on client and server side.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>libssh and libssh2 both have a bits/bytes confusion bug and generate an
+ abnormaly short ephemeral secret for the diffie-hellman-group1 and
+ diffie-hellman-group14 key exchange methods. The resulting secret is 128
+ bits long, instead of the recommended sizes of 1024 and 2048 bits
+ respectively.
+ </p>
+
+ <p>Additionally, a double free on dangling pointers in initial key exchange
+ packets within libssh could leave dangling pointers in the session crypto
+ structures. It is possible to send a malicious kexinit package to
+ eventually cause a server to do a double-free before this fix. This could
+ be used for a Denial of Service attack.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>Remote attackers may gain access to confidential information due to the
+ short keysize generated by libssh and libssh2, or cause a Denial of
+ Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>There is no known workaround at this time.</p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All libssh users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/libssh-0.7.3"
+ </code>
+
+ <p>All libssh2 users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/libssh2-1.7.0"
