Category:	Debian Local Security Checks
Title:	Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-426-1)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libssh2' package(s) announced via the DLA-426-1 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libssh2' package(s) announced via the DLA-426-1 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: Andreas Schneider reported that libssh2, an SSH2 protocol implementation used by many applications, did not generate sufficiently long Diffie-Hellman secrets. This vulnerability could be exploited by an eavesdropper to decrypt and to intercept SSH sessions. For the oldoldstable distribution (squeeze), this has been fixed in version 1.2.6-1+deb6u2. Although the changelog refers to sha256, this version only supports DH SHA-1 key exchange and it is that key exchange method that has been fixed. For the oldstable (wheezy) and stable (jessie) distributions, this will be fixed soon. Affected Software/OS: 'libssh2' package(s) on Debian 6. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 4.3 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:P/I:N/A:N
