The code in src/sftpserver.c did not verify the validity of certain pointers and expected them to be valid. A NULL pointer dereference could have been occurred that typically causes a crash and thus a denial of service.

For Debian 9 stretch, this problem has been fixed in version 0.7.3-2+deb9u3.

We recommend that you upgrade your libssh packages.

For the detailed security status of libssh please refer to its security tracker page at:
https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/libssh

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
