Severity:

References:
CVE-2016-0787
Issue Overview:
A type confusion issue was found in the way libssh4 generated ephemeral secrets for the diffie-hellman-group1 and diffie-hellman-group14 key exchange methods. This would cause an SSHv2 Diffie-Hellman handshake to use significantly less secure random parameters.
Affected Packages:
libssh4
Issue Correction:
Run yum update libssh4 to update your system.
