libssh Privilege Escalation

The vulnerability of the libssh library is related to an uncontrolled element in the search process. Exploiting this vulnerability can allow an attacker to enhance their privileges...

curl: CVE-2026-9547: SSH improper host validation

Hi all, We've found an issue in lib/vssh/libssh.c where the libssh backend maps SSHKNOWNHOSTSOTHER to CURLKHMATCHMISSING instead of CURLKHMATCHMISMATCH. libssh documents SSHKNOWNHOSTSOTHER as "The server gave us a key of a type while we had another type recorded. It is a possible attack."...

Advisory ROSA-SA-2026-3282

software: libssh 0.9.8 OS: ROSA-CHROME unaffected versions = libssh-0.9.8-5 affected versions libssh-0.9.8-5 CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0965 BDU-ID: None CVE-Crit: LOW CVE-DESC.: A vulnerability in libssh is related to the ability to open arbitrary files during configuration parsing. A local attacker could...

Advisory ROSA-SA-2026-3275

software: libssh 0.9.8 OS: ROSA-CHROME unaffected versions = libssh-0.9.8-4 affected versions libssh-0.9.8-4 CVE-ID: CVE-2026-3731 BDU-ID: None CVE-Crit: MEDIUM CVE-DESC.: A read outside allocated buffer vulnerability in the SFTP Extension Name Handler component of the libssh library allows a...

libssh: libssh: Denial of Service via improper configuration file handling

A flaw was found in libssh where it can attempt to open arbitrary files during configuration parsing. A local attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious configuration file or when the system is misconfigured. This vulnerability could lead to a Denial of Service DoS by causing the system t...

libssh: libssh: Denial of Service via zero-length input in ssh_get_hexa()

A flaw was found in libssh. The API function sshgethexa is vulnerable to a denial of service when processing zero-length input. This can be exploited remotely by an attacker during GSSAPI Generic Security Service Application Program Interface authentication if the server's logging verbosity is se...

libssh: Double Free Vulnerability in libssh Key Export Functions

A flaw was found in the key export functionality of libssh. The issue occurs in the internal function responsible for converting cryptographic keys into serialized formats. During error handling, a memory structure is freed but not cleared, leading to a potential double free issue if an additiona...

libssh: libssh: Denial of Service via inefficient regular expression processing

A flaw was found in libssh. A remote attacker, by controlling client configuration files or knownhosts files, could craft specific hostnames that when processed by the matchpattern function can lead to inefficient regular expression backtracking. This can cause timeouts and resource exhaustion,...

libssh: libssh: Denial of Service due to malformed SFTP message

A flaw was found in libssh in which a malicious SFTP SSH File Transfer Protocol server can exploit this by sending a malformed 'longname' field within an SSHFXPNAME message during a file listing operation. This missing null check can lead to reading beyond allocated memory on the heap. This can...

libssh: Memory Exhaustion via Repeated Key Exchange in libssh

A flaw was found in libssh's handling of key exchange KEX processes when a client repeatedly sends incorrect KEX guesses. The library fails to free memory during these rekey operations, which can gradually exhaust system memory. This issue can lead to crashes on the client side, particularly when...

libssh: NULL Pointer Dereference in libssh KEX Session ID Calculation

A flaw was found in libssh, a library that implements the SSH protocol. When calculating the session ID during the key exchange KEX process, an allocation failure in cryptographic functions may lead to a NULL pointer dereference. This issue can cause the client or server to crash...

libssh: Write beyond bounds in binary to base64 conversion functions

There's a vulnerability in the libssh package where when a libssh consumer passes in an unexpectedly large input buffer to sshgetfingerprinthash function. In such cases the bintobase64 function can experience an integer overflow leading to a memory under allocation, when that happens it's possibl...
