    Summary: Updated libssh2 packages fix CVE-2015-1782

    Details: Updated libssh2 packages fix security vulnerability: Mariusz Ziulek reported that libssh2, a SSH2 client-side library, was reading and using the SSH_MSG_KEXINIT packet without doing sufficient range checks when negotiating a new SSH session with a remote server. A malicious attacker could man in the middle a real server and cause a client using the libssh2 library to crash (denial of service) or otherwise read and use unintended memory areas in this process (CVE-2015-1782).
