Red Hat libssh. During server-side GSSAPI key exchange: out-of-bounds read
Low3.7CVE-2026-59842 · Published Jul 21, 2026 · updated Sep 22, 2026
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.
