DescriptionNVD

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.

AnalysisAI

Libssh versions used across Red Hat Enterprise Linux 6-10 and OpenShift Container Platform 4 are vulnerable to a null pointer dereference when processing malformed 'longname' fields in SFTP SSH_FXP_NAME messages, allowing unauthenticated remote attackers to trigger denial of service through application crashes. The attack requires user interaction and high attack complexity (CVSS 3.1, CVSS:3.0/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:L) but affects a widely deployed SSH library; no public exploit identified at time of analysis.

RemediationAI

During next maintenance window: Apply vendor patches when convenient. Verify null pointer dereference controls are in place.
