Detail

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

- Ubuntu 15.10 - Ubuntu 14.04 LTS - Ubuntu 12.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in libssh.

Software Description: - libssh: A tiny C SSH library

Details:

Mariusz Ziulek discovered that libssh incorrectly handled certain packets. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libssh to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2015-3146)

Aris Adamantiadis discovered that libssh incorrectly generated ephemeral secret keys of 128 bits instead of the recommended 1024 or 2048 bits when using the diffie-hellman-group1 and diffie-hellman-group14 methods. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. (CVE-2016-0739)

Update instructions:

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

Ubuntu 15.10:
libssh-4 0.6.3-3ubuntu3.2

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
libssh-4 0.6.1-0ubuntu3.3

Ubuntu 12.04 LTS:
libssh-4 0.5.2-1ubuntu0.12.04.6

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