Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'libssh' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2015-0209 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Updated libssh packages fix security vulnerability: libssh versions 0.5.1 and above, but before 0.6.5, have a logical error in the handling of a SSH_MSG_NEWKEYS and SSH_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY package.
