libssh security advisories :

The SSH protocol keeps track of two shared secrets during the lifetime of the session. One of them is called secret_hash and and the other session_id. Initially, both of them are the same, but after key re-exchange, previous session_id is kept and used as an input to new secret_hash.

Historically, both of these buffers had shared length variable, which worked as long as these buffers were same. But the key re-exchange operation can also change the key exchange method, which can be based on hash of different size, eventually creating secret_hash of different size than the session_id has.

This becomes an issue when the session_id memory is zeroized or when it is used again during second key re-exchange.
