CVE-2025-5372 2 Libssh, Redhat 3 Libssh, Enterprise Linux, Openshift Container Platform 2026-05-26 N/A 5.0 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in libssh versions built with OpenSSL versions older than 3.0, specifically in the ssh_kdf() function responsible for key derivation. Due to inconsistent interpretation of return values where OpenSSL uses 0 to indicate failure and libssh uses 0 for success—the function may mistakenly return a success status even when key derivation fails. This results in uninitialized cryptographic key buffers being used in subsequent communication, potentially compromising SSH sessions' confidentiality, integrity, and availability.
CVE-2026-0968 2 Libssh, Redhat 2 Libssh, Enterprise Linux 2026-05-19 N/A 3.1 LOW
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 `SSH_FXP_NAME` message during a file listing operation. This missing null check can lead to reading beyond allocated memory on the heap. This can cause unexpected behavior or lead to a denial of service (DoS) due to application crashes.
CVE-2026-0967 2 Libssh, Redhat 2 Libssh, Enterprise Linux 2026-05-19 N/A 5.5 MEDIUM
A flaw was found in libssh. A remote attacker, by controlling client configuration files or known_hosts files, could craft specific hostnames that when processed by the `match_pattern()` function can lead to inefficient regular expression backtracking. This can cause timeouts and resource exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the client.
CVE-2026-0966 2 Libssh, Redhat 4 Libssh, Enterprise Linux, Hardened Images and 1 more 2026-05-19 N/A 8.2 HIGH
A flaw was found in libssh. The API function `ssh_get_hexa()` 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 set to `SSH_LOG_PACKET (3)` or higher. Successful exploitation could lead to a self-Denial of Service of the per-connection daemon process.
CVE-2026-0965 2 Libssh, Redhat 2 Libssh, Enterprise Linux 2026-05-19 N/A 3.3 LOW
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 to try and access dangerous files, such as block devices or large system files, which can disrupt normal operations.
CVE-2026-0964 2 Libssh, Redhat 4 Libssh, Enterprise Linux, Hardened Images and 1 more 2026-05-19 N/A 6.3 MEDIUM
A malicious SCP server can send unexpected paths that could make the client application override local files outside of working directory. This could be misused to create malicious executable or configuration files and make the user execute them under specific consequences. This is the same issue as in OpenSSH, tracked as CVE-2019-6111.
CVE-2025-8114 1 Libssh 1 Libssh 2026-05-19 N/A 4.7 MEDIUM
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.
CVE-2025-5351 2 Libssh, Redhat 3 Libssh, Enterprise Linux, Openshift Container Platform 2026-05-19 N/A 6.5 MEDIUM
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 additional failure occurs later in the function. This condition may result in heap corruption or application instability in low-memory scenarios, posing a risk to system reliability where key export operations are performed.
CVE-2023-48795 42 9bis, Apache, Apple and 39 more 68 Kitty, Sshd, Sshj and 65 more 2026-05-12 N/A 5.9 MEDIUM
The SSH transport protocol with certain OpenSSH extensions, found in OpenSSH before 9.6 and other products, allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks such that some packets are omitted (from the extension negotiation message), and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled, aka a Terrapin attack. This occurs because the SSH Binary Packet Protocol (BPP), implemented by these extensions, mishandles the handshake phase and mishandles use of sequence numbers. For example, there is an effective attack against SSH's use of ChaCha20-Poly1305 (and CBC with Encrypt-then-MAC). The bypass occurs in chacha20-poly1305@openssh.com and (if CBC is used) the -etm@openssh.com MAC algorithms.
