libssh: A flaw was found in libssh
CVE-2026-59842 is fixed in 3 products on 1 platform, first by DEBIAN-CVE-2026-59842, released July 31, 2026. It is not reported as exploited. Patch Radar priority: High.
A flaw was found in libssh. During server-side GSSAPI key exchange, a client-supplied Curve25519 public key shorter than the expected length is copied without proper length validation, leading to an out-of-bounds heap read. This could allow a remote unauthenticated attacker to disclose small amounts of server memory.
