"Updated libssh2 packages that fix one security issue are now available
for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6 and 7.
Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having Moderate
security impact. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base
score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available from the
CVE link in the References section.
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."
