libssh-0.9.6-17.el8_10

libssh is a library which implements the SSH protocol. It can be used to implement client and server applications.

Security Fix(es):

* libssh: libssh: denial of service via zero advertised channel packet size (CVE-2026-59843)
* libssh: libssh: denial of service via oversized SFTP read length (CVE-2026-59844)
* libssh: libssh: denial of service via unchecked ProxyCommand fork() failure (CVE-2026-59845)
* libssh: libssh: information disclosure via ProxyCommand %r username expansion (CVE-2026-59846)
* libssh: libssh: integrity downgrade via OpenSSL AES-GCM tag verification (CVE-2026-59847)
* libssh: libssh: denial of service via SFTP responses with unknown request IDs (CVE-2026-59848)
* libssh: libssh: use-after-free via data callbacks on closed channels (CVE-2026-59850)

CVE-2026-59843
A flaw was found in libssh. A remote authenticated peer can advertise a zero maximum packet size in SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN, causing later channel writes to loop indefinitely and consume CPU, leading to denial of service.
CVE-2026-59844
A flaw was found in libssh. A remote authenticated client can issue SSH_FXP_READ requests with an arbitrarily large length, causing a libssh SFTP server to allocate excessive memory and potentially exhaust it through repeated requests.
CVE-2026-59845
A flaw was found in libssh. When ProxyCommand is used, an unchecked fork() failure can be stored as process ID -1; during cleanup, signals may then be sent across the caller's accessible process tree, leading to local denial of service.
CVE-2026-59846
A flaw was found in libssh. A malicious username expanded through %r in ProxyCommand handling can inject shell metacharacters, exposing environment variables and causing unintended shell behavior.
CVE-2026-59847
A flaw was found in libssh. Incorrect AES-GCM finalization checks in builds using the OpenSSL backend can effectively remove integrity protection, allowing an in-path attacker to modify plaintext on the wire without detection.
CVE-2026-59848
A flaw was found in libssh. A malicious SFTP server can send responses for unknown request IDs that libssh clients keep queued indefinitely, causing unbounded memory growth and client-side denial of service.
CVE-2026-59850
A flaw was found in libssh. If data packets are processed after a channel is closed, channel data callbacks can be invoked after the associated data has already been freed, leading to crashes or possible use-after-free conditions.
