+ <blockquote cite="https://www.libssh.org/2016/02/23/libssh-0-7-3-security-and-bugfix-release/">
+ <p>libssh versions 0.1 and above have a bits/bytes confusion bug and
+ generate the an anormaly short ephemeral secret for the
+ diffie-hellman-group1 and diffie-hellman-group14 key exchange
+ methods. The resulting secret is 128 bits long, instead of the
+ recommended sizes of 1024 and 2048 bits respectively. There are
+ practical algorithms (Baby steps/Giant steps, Pollard’s rho) that can
+ solve this problem in O(2^63) operations.</p>
+ <p>Both client and server are are vulnerable, pre-authentication.
+ This vulnerability could be exploited by an eavesdropper with enough
+ resources to decrypt or intercept SSH sessions. The bug was found
+ during an internal code review by Aris Adamantiadis of the libssh
+ team.</p>
