Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.1.2.2015.171
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-171-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libssh2' package(s) announced via the DLA-171-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libssh2' package(s) announced via the DLA-171-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Mariusz Ziulek reported that libssh2, a SSH2 client-side library, was reading and using the SSH_MSG_KEXINIT packet without doing sufficient range checks when negotiating a new SSH session with a remote server. A malicious attacker could man in the middle a real server and cause a client using the libssh2 library to crash (denial of service) or otherwise read and use unintended memory areas in this process.

For Debian 6 Squeeze, these issues have been fixed in libssh2 version 1.2.6-1+deb6u1

Affected Software/OS:
'libssh2' package(s) on Debian 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
6.8
