Description Sam James archtester Gentoo Infrastructure gentoo-dev Security 2020-04-09 10:23:12 UTC
From URL:
== Versions:    >= 0.8.0
==
== Summary:     A malicious client or server could crash
==              the counterpart implemented with libssh
==              AES-CTR ciphers are used and don't get
==              fully initialized. It will crash when it
==              tries to cleanup the AES-CTR ciphers when
==              closing the connection.

==========
Workaround
==========

Disable AES-CTR ciphers. If you implement a server using libssh we advise to
use a prefork model so each session runs in an own process. If you have
implemented your server this way this is not really an issue. The client will
kill its own connection.

@maintainer(s), this is a relatively minor release with some other correctness fixes in there. Please advise if ready for stabilisation or call yourself.

Thanks for quick bump!
