Description Vincent Danen 2013-01-11 16:44:18 UTC 
A NULL dereference was found in libssh 0.5.3's publickey_from_privatekey() function.  When a server using libssh receives a "Client: Key Exchange Init", the server sets up the session and tries to set the algorithms by matching what the user specified vs what is supported in crypt_set_algorithms_server().  If there is no match, it will lead to a NULL dereference when receiving the "Client: Diffie-Hellman Key Exchange Init" packet, which will cause the program using libssh to crash.
