CVE-2015-3146  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:8 libssh to version 0.6.3-4+deb8u1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libssh package and not the libssh package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.

The (1) SSH_MSG_NEWKEYS and (2) SSH_MSG_KEXDH_REPLY packet handlers in package_cb.c in libssh before 0.6.5 do not properly validate state, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and crash) via a crafted SSH packet.
