LibSSH: Information disclosure

LibSSH: Information disclosure A vulnerability in LibSSH can result in leakage of private key information. libssh 2014-08-10 2014-08-10 503504 local 0.6.3 0.6.3

LibSSH is a C library providing SSHv2 and SSHv1.

A new connection inherits the state of the PRNG without re-seeding with random data.

Servers using ECC (ECDSA) or DSA certificates in non-deterministic mode may under certain conditions leak their private key.

There is no known workaround at this time.

All LibSSH users should upgrade to the latest version:


      # emerge --sync
      # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/libssh-0.6.3"
