AsyncSSH is a Python package which provides an asynchronous client and server implementation of the SSHv2 protocol on top of the Python asyncio framework. Prior to 2.24.0, _process_channel_open and _process_channel_open_confirmation in asyncssh/connection.py accept a peer-supplied send_pktsize value of zero. When channel data reaches SSHChannel._flush_send_buf in asyncssh/channel.py, the zero value causes each loop iteration to slice and remove zero bytes without reducing the send window, leaving the synchronous loop permanently true with no await point. A malicious SSH server can trigger the client path through SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN_CONFIRMATION before the first channel write, while an authenticated client can trigger the server path through SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN and freeze every current and future connection handled by the process. This vulnerability is fixed in 2.24.0.
AnalysisAI
A peer-supplied maximum packet size of zero is accepted during SSH channel-open negotiation in AsyncSSH versions prior to 2.24.0, and the resulting zero-byte send-window processing drives SSHChannel._flush_send_buf into a synchronous infinite loop with no await point, permanently freezing the asyncio event loop. Because the loop is synchronous, a single trigger halts every current and future connection handled by that process, producing a complete denial of service rather than a per-connection failure. …
