passes the number of bytes to a function that expects number of bits
during the SSHv2 handshake when libssh2 is to get a suitable value
for'group order' in the Diffie-Hellman negotiation. This weakens
significantly the handshake security, potentially allowing an
eavesdropper with enough resources to decrypt or intercept SSH
sessions."
