When writing data larger than 4GB in a single Write call on an SSH channel, an integer overflow in the internal payload size calculation caused the write loop to spin indefinitely, sending empty packets without making progress. The size comparison now uses int64 to prevent truncation.
AnalysisAI
Denial of service in the Go golang.org/x/crypto/ssh package (versions prior to 0.52.0) occurs when an application writes more than 4GB of data in a single Write call on an SSH channel, triggering an integer overflow in the internal payload size calculation that causes the write loop to spin indefinitely while emitting empty packets. The flaw affects any Go application using this SSH library for large data transfers and is patched upstream with a release in version 0.52.0; no public exploit identified at time of analysis and EPSS probability is very low at 0.02%.
