A flaw was found in libssh2. A malicious SSH (Secure Shell) server can exploit a double-free vulnerability in the sftp_open() function. This flaw allows the server to corrupt the heap memory of an authenticated client when it opens an SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) session. This heap corruption can lead to arbitrary code execution on the client system, giving the attacker control over the affected system.

A flaw was found in libssh2. A pre-authentication integer underflow vulnerability exists in the `ssh2_cipher_crypt()` function when negotiating AES-GCM ciphers during the handshake. A malicious SSH server can exploit this to trigger an out-of-bounds read and a memory copy operation with an extremely large length argument, leading to an immediate client process crash. This vulnerability results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for any connecting client.

A missing bounds check in the libssh2 publickey subsystem allows malicious SSH servers to trigger a client-side out-of-bounds read, leaking heap pointers that could enable security bypasses, denial of service, or code execution.

This vulnerability results in a Denial of Service (DoS) for any connecting client.",
