Summary

This update for openssh fixes the following issues: Security issues fixed: - CVE-2018-15919: Remotely observable behaviour in auth-gss2.c in OpenSSH could be used by remote attackers to detect existence of users on a target system when GSS2 is in use. OpenSSH developers do not want to treat such a username enumeration (or "oracle") as a vulnerability. (bsc#1106163) - CVE-2017-15906: The process_open function in sftp-server.c in OpenSSH did not properly prevent write operations in readonly mode, which allowed attackers to create zero-length files. (bsc#1065000, bsc#1106726) - CVE-2016-10708: sshd allowed remote attackers to cause a denial of service (NULL pointer dereference and daemon crash) via an out-of-sequence NEWKEYS message, as demonstrated by Honggfuzz, related to kex.c and packet.c. (bsc#1076957)
