Gentoo Linux Security Advisory 201606-12 - Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in libssh and libssh2, the worst of which allows remote attackers to cause Denial of Service. Versions less than 0.7.3 are affected.
a7682074939d8d39fdbac72c4a9138e844743c73c282548b5fb3e4eebea79c23Red Hat Security Advisory 2016-0566-01 - libssh is a library which implements the SSH protocol. It can be used to implement client and server applications. Security Fix: A type confusion issue was found in the way libssh generated ephemeral secrets for the diffie-hellman-group1 and diffie-hellman-group14 key exchange methods. This would cause an SSHv2 Diffie-Hellman handshake to use significantly less secure random parameters.

A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libssh to crash, resulting in a denial of service. Aris Adamantiadis discovered that libssh incorrectly generated ephemeral secret keys of 128 bits instead of the recommended 1024 or 2048 bits when using the diffie-hellman-group1 and diffie-hellman-group14 methods. If a remote attacker were able to perform a man-in-the-middle attack, this flaw could be exploited to view sensitive information. Various other issues were also addressed.

The resulting secret is 128 bits long, instead of the recommended sizes of 1024 and 2048 bits respectively. This flaw could allow an eavesdropper with enough resources to decrypt or intercept SSH sessions.
