Description David Walser 2016-10-19 23:43:48 CEST

A CVE has been assigned for a security issues fixed upstream in openssh:
http://openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2016/10/19/9

I believe this is the patch they were referring to to fix it:
http://cvsweb.openbsd.org/cgi-bin/cvsweb/src/usr.bin/ssh/kex.c.diff?r1=1.126&r2=1.127

Mageia 5 may also be affected.

Comment 1 David Walser 2016-10-23 21:55:58 CEST

Fixed in Cauldron by Guillaume.  Code in Mageia 5 is different enough that it isn't obvious that it's affected.  Will re-open if we find out otherwise.

Status: NEW => RESOLVED
Resolution: (none) => FIXED
