  • l/gtk+3-3.18.8-x86_64-1.txz
  • l/libical-2.0.0-x86_64-1.txz
    Shared library .so-version bump.
  • l/libssh-0.7.3-x86_64-1.txz
    Fixed weak key generation. Due to a bug in the ephemeral secret key
    generation for the diffie-hellman-group1 and diffie-hellman-group14
    methods, ephemeral secret keys of size 128 bits are generated, instead
    of the recommended sizes of 1024 and 2048 bits, giving a practical
    security of 63 bits.
    For more information, see:

    (* Security fix *)
  • l/sg3_utils-1.42-x86_64-1.txz
  • n/libssh2-1.7.0-x86_64-1.txz
    Fixed weak key generation. During the SSHv2 handshake when libssh2 is to
    get a suitable value for 'group order' in the Diffle Hellman negotiation,
    it would pass in number of bytes to a function that expected number of bits.
    This would result in the library generating numbers using only an 8th the
    number of random bits than what were intended: 128 or 256 bits instead of
    1023 or 2047. Using such drastically reduced amount of random bits for
    Diffie Hellman weakended the handshake security significantly.
