"Part of the SFTP handshake involves 'extensions', which are key/value
pairs, comprised of strings. In SSH, strings are encoded for network
transport as a 32-bit length, followed by the bytes. The mod_sftp
module currently places no bounds/length limitations when reading
these SFTP extension key/value data from the network. A malicious
attacker might attempt to encode large values, and allocate more
memory than is necessary, causing excessive resource usage or the FTP
daemon to crash. This update limits the amount of memory allocated to
handle these extensions.

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