  - An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 when a specially crafted SFTP packet is
    received from the server. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to cause a Denial of
    Service or read data in the client memory. (CVE-2019-3858)

  - An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the _libssh2_packet_require and
    _libssh2_packet_requirev functions. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to cause a
    Denial of Service or read data in the client memory. (CVE-2019-3859)

  - An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST
    packets with an exit status message and no payload are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH
    server may be able to cause a Denial of Service or read data in the client memory. (CVE-2019-3862)
