Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian: Security Advisory (DLA-3559-1)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libssh2' package(s) announced via the DLA-3559-1 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the Debian 'libssh2' package(s) announced via the DLA-3559-1 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
Vulnerabilities were found in libssh2, a client-side C library implementing the SSH2 protocol, which could lead to denial of service or remote information disclosure.

CVE-2019-13115

Kevin Backhouse discovered an integer overflow vulnerability in kex.c's kex_method_diffie_hellman_group_exchange_sha256_key_exchange() function, which could lead to an out-of-bounds read in the way packets are read from the server. A remote attacker who compromises an SSH server may be able to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition on the client system when a user connects to the server.

CVE-2019-17498

Kevin Backhouse discovered that the SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT logic in packet.c has an integer overflow in a bounds check, thereby enabling an attacker to specify an arbitrary (out-of-bounds) offset for a subsequent memory read. A malicious SSH server may be able to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition on the client system when a user connects to the server.

CVE-2020-22218

An issue was discovered in function _libssh2_packet_add(), which could allow attackers to access out of bounds memory.

For Debian 10 buster, these problems have been fixed in version 1.8.0-2.1+deb10u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your libssh2 packages.
