A vulnerability in LibSSH can result in leakage of private key information.
| Package | net-libs/libssh on all architectures |
|---|---|
| Affected versions | < 0.6.3 |
| Unaffected versions | >= 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"
