Detail

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

- Ubuntu 13.10 - Ubuntu 12.10 - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

A security issue was fixed in libssh.

Software Description: - libssh: A tiny C SSH library

Details:

Aris Adamantiadis discovered that libssh allowed the OpenSSL PRNG state to be reused when implementing forking servers. This could allow an attacker to possibly obtain information about the state of the PRNG and perform cryptographic attacks.

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:

Ubuntu 13.10:
libssh-4 0.5.4-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 12.10:
libssh-4 0.5.2-1ubuntu0.12.10.3

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libssh-4 0.5.2-1ubuntu0.12.04.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

Title: DSA-2879-1 libssh - security update
Description: It was discovered that libssh, a tiny C SSH library, did not reset the state of the PRNG after accepting a connection. A server mode application that forks itself to handle incoming connections could see its children sharing the same PRNG state, resulting in a cryptographic weakness and possibly the recovery of the private key.
