"The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.");
  script_set_attribute(attribute:"description", value:
"According to the versions of the libssh2 packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by
the following vulnerabilities :

    libssh2 through 1.11.1 reads an attacker-controlled 32-bit attribute count from a publickey-subsystem
    response and uses it in the allocation num_attrs * sizeof(libssh2_publickey_attribute) without bounds
    checking, so on 32-bit platforms the multiplication overflows to an undersized buffer. A malicious SSH
    server can then drive the attribute-parsing loop to write past the allocation, causing a heap buffer
    overflow in a connecting libssh2 client.(CVE-2026-58050)

    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit a13bb6c, contains a missing bounds check vulnerability that allows
    a malicious SSH server to trigger an arbitrary-length heap out-of-bounds read and a free of an
    uninitialized pointer via the publickey subsystem. In libssh2_publickey_list_fetch(), the version 1
    response parser reads a server-controlled comment_len value and advances the parse pointer without
    verifying sufficient bytes remain in the buffer, causing the out-of-bounds read to leak heap pointers from
    adjacent allocations defeating ASLR, followed by heap allocator state corruption when the error cleanup
    path frees an uninitialized pointer from a non-zeroed realloc() region.(CVE-2026-66034)

    libssh2 through 1.11.1 grows its publickey list with SSH2_REALLOC but does not zero-initialize new entries
    before parsing populates them, so a parse failure reaching the cleanup path leaves
    libssh2_publickey_list_free operating on an uninitialized entry. A malicious SSH server offering the
    publickey subsystem can use a malformed response to make cleanup free an uninitialized, attacker-
    influenceable attrs pointer in a connecting libssh2 client.(CVE-2026-58051)

    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 5e47761, contains a double-free vulnerability in the sftp_open()
    function in src/sftp.c that allows a malicious SSH server to corrupt the heap of any authenticated client
    opening an SFTP session. When a server responds to SSH_FXP_OPEN with SSH_FXP_STATUS containing FX_OK, the
    response data buffer is freed, and if a subsequent sftp_packet_require() call returns a specific error
    such as LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_PACKET_EXCEEDED, the same pointer is freed a second time, enabling tcache
    dup conditions on glibc systems that allow overlapping allocations and function pointer
    overwrites.(CVE-2026-66032)

    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 2dae302, contains an out-of-bounds heap read vulnerability in the
    sftp_symlink() function in src/sftp.c that allows a malicious SSH server or man-in-the-middle attacker to
    disclose heap memory contents or cause a crash by sending a crafted SSH_FXP_NAME response. Attackers can
    supply a link_len value larger than the actual packet data in SSH_FXP_NAME responses for SFTP READLINK and
    REALPATH operations, triggering a heap buffer over-read of up to target_len minus one bytes due to the
    missing validation of available packet buffer size before the memcpy operation.(CVE-2025-15661)

    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit a2ed82d, contains a pre-authentication integer underflow
    vulnerability in the ssh2_cipher_crypt() function in src/openssl.c that allows a malicious SSH server to
    crash any connecting client by negotiating AES-GCM ciphers during handshake. Attackers can exploit the
    underflow in the expression computing blocksize minus aadlen minus authentication tag length to trigger an
    out-of-bounds read and a memcpy call with a near-SIZE_MAX length argument, causing immediate process crash
    before any authentication occurs.(CVE-2026-66033)

    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 1762685, contains a pre-authentication denial of service
    vulnerability in the SSH_MSG_EXT_INFO handler in src/packet.c that allows a malicious SSH server to cause
    a client CPU exhaustion loop by sending a crafted extension count value. A malicious server can set
    nr_extensions to 0xFFFFFFFF during key exchange, causing the client to spin in a tight CPU loop for over
    60 seconds because return values from _libssh2_get_string() are unchecked and the session timeout does not
    apply to CPU-bound loops.(CVE-2026-55199)

    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 42e33d8, contains a pre-authentication heap buffer overflow
    vulnerability that allows a malicious SSH server to corrupt heap metadata in any connecting client by
    sending a packet with a packet_length smaller than the cipher's block size during Encrypt-then-MAC cipher
    negotiation. In the fullpacket() function in src/transport.c, the ETM path allocates a buffer of
    packet_length bytes but copies blocksize minus one bytes via memcpy, causing an overflow that on 32-bit
    glibc writes attacker-controlled bytes into an adjacent chunk's SIZE field, enabling tcache bin confusion,
    overlapping live objects, and function pointer overwrite during the session handshake before
    authentication.(CVE-2026-66035)
