   An update that solves 5 vulnerabilities and has two fixes
   is now available.

Description:

   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)
   - CVE-2018-15473: OpenSSH was prone to a user existance oracle
     vulnerability due to not delaying bailout for an invalid authenticating
     user until after the packet containing the request has been fully
     parsed, related to auth2-gss.c, auth2-hostbased.c, and auth2-pubkey.c.
     (bsc#1105010)
   - CVE-2016-10012: Removed pre-auth compression support from the server to
     prevent possible cryptographic attacks.  (bsc#1016370)

   Bugs fixed:

   - Fixed failing "AuthorizedKeysCommand" within a "Match User" block in
     sshd_config (bsc#1105180)
