Background

libssh is a multiplatform C library implementing the SSHv2 protocol on client and server side.

Description

libssh was found to have a NULL pointer dereference in tftpserver.c if the function ssh_buffer_new returns NULL.

Impact

An attacker could cause a possible Denial of Service condition.

Workaround

There is no known workaround at this time.

Resolution

All libssh users should upgrade to the latest version:

 # emerge --sync
 # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-libs/libssh-0.9.5"
