Name        : libssh2
Product     : Fedora 30
Version     : 1.9.0
Release     : 1.fc30
URL         : http://www.libssh2.org/
Summary     : A library implementing the SSH2 protocol
Description :
libssh2 is a library implementing the SSH2 protocol as defined by
Internet Drafts: SECSH-TRANS(22), SECSH-USERAUTH(25),
SECSH-CONNECTION(23), SECSH-ARCH(20), SECSH-FILEXFER(06)*,
SECSH-DHGEX(04), and SECSH-NUMBERS(10).

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Update Information:

A vulnerability was discovered in libssh2 before 1.9.0,
`kex_method_diffie_hellman_group_exchange_sha256_key_exchange` in `kex.c` has an
integer overflow that could lead to an out-of-bounds write in the way packets
are read from the server. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be
able to execute code on the client system when a user connects to the server.
This is related to an `_libssh2_check_length` mistake, and is different from the
various issues fixed in 1.8.1, such as CVE-2019-3855.  This update, to the
latest current upstream release 1.9.0, addresses this security issue and also
includes a number of other bug fixes and enhancements as described in the
package changelog.
