+ <background>
+ <p>libssh is a multiplatform C library implementing the SSHv2 protocol on
+ client and server side.
+ </p>
+ </background>
+ <description>
+ <p>It was discovered that libssh could crash when AES-CTR ciphers are used.</p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="low">
+ <p>A remote attacker running a malicious client or server could possibly
+ crash the counterpart implemented with libssh and cause a Denial of
+ Service condition.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>Disable AES-CTR ciphers. If you implement a server using libssh it is
+ recommended to use a prefork model so each session runs in an own
+ process.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>All libssh users should upgrade to the latest version:</p>
+
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-libs/libssh-0.9.4"
+ </code>
