+Patch from libssh 0.6, with bind.c hunk adjusted for 0.5.5.

+Subject: security: fix for vulnerability CVE-2014-0017
+
+When accepting a new connection, a forking server based on libssh forks
+and the child process handles the request. The RAND_bytes() function of
+openssl doesn't reset its state after the fork, but simply adds the
+current process id (getpid) to the PRNG state, which is not guaranteed
+to be unique.
+This can cause several children to end up with same PRNG state which is
+a security issue.
