CVE-2019-17498 HIGH

Published: 2019-10-21 | Last Modified: 2026-06-17 | Status: Modified

Description

In libssh2 v1.9.0 and earlier versions, the SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT logic in packet.c has an integer overflow in a bounds check, enabling an attacker to specify an arbitrary (out-of-bounds) offset for a subsequent memory read. A crafted SSH server may be able to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition on the client system when a user connects to the server.

Additional Descriptions (1)

En libssh2 versión v1.9.0 y anteriores, la lógica de la función SSH_MSG_DISCONNECT en el archivo packet.c presenta un desbordamiento de enteros en una comprobación de límites, lo que permite a un atacante especificar un desplazamiento arbitrario (fuera de límites) para una lectura de memoria posterior. Un servidor SSH diseñado puede ser capaz de revelar información confidencial o causar una condición de denegación de servicio en el sistema del cliente cuando un usuario conecta con el servidor.
