guix/gnu/packages/patches/libssh-0.6.5-CVE-2016-0739.patch

Fix CVE-2016-0739 (Weak Diffie-Hellman secret generation in
dh_generate_x() and dh_generate_y()).

"Due to a byte/bit confusion, the DH secret was too short. This file was
completely reworked and will be commited in a future version."

https://git.libssh.org/projects/libssh.git/commit/?id=f8d0026c65fc8a55748ae481758e2cf376c26c86

This patch was created by upstream for libssh-0.7.3, but applied without
modification to libssh-0.6.3 by Debian. In Guix, we apply it without
modification to libssh-0.6.5.
