NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream lsh-utils package and not the lsh-utils package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

unix_random.c in lshd for lsh 2.0.1 leaks file descriptors related to the randomness generator, which allows local users to cause a denial of service by truncating the seed file, which prevents the server from starting, or obtain sensitive seed information that could be used to crack keys.
