Two security issues have been discovered in libssh, a tiny C SSH library:

CVE-2023-1667

Philip Turnbull discovered a NULL pointer dereference which could
result in denial of service.

CVE-2023-2283

Kevin Backhouse discovered that pki_verify_data_signature() may
fail to correctly validate authentication in memory pressure
