Out-of-bounds Read SNYK-DEBIAN8-LIBSSH2-453623 #3866
Description
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libssh2 package and not the libssh2 package as distributed by Debian.
See How to fix? for Debian:8 relevant fixed versions and status.
In libssh2 before 1.9.0, kex_method_diffie_hellman_group_exchange_sha256_key_exchange in kex.c has an integer overflow that could lead to an out-of-bounds read in the way packets are read from the server. A remote attacker who compromises a 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. This is related to an _libssh2_check_length mistake, and is different from the various issues fixed in 1.8.1, such as CVE-2019-3855.
Remediation
Upgrade Debian:8 libssh2 to version 1.4.3-4.1+deb8u4 or higher.
