SB2026031537 - openEuler 24.03 LTS update for libssh

Description

This security bulletin contains information about 3 vulnerabilities.

1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0965)

CWE-ID: CWE-20 - Improper input validation

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a local user to crash the application.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing configuration filers. A local user can supply a specially crafted configuration and crash the application.

2) Buffer underflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0966)

CWE-ID: CWE-124 - Buffer Underwrite ('Buffer Underflow')

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service attack.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error within the ssh_get_hexa() function when reading zero-length input during GSSAPI authentication. A remote attacker can send specially crafted data to the application and perform a denial of service attack. 

3) Out-of-bounds read (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-0968)

CWE-ID: CWE-125 - Out-of-bounds read

CVSSv4: CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:N/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to a boundary condition within the sftp_parse_longname() function. A malicious SFTP server can send a specially crafted SSH_FXP_NAME message to trigger an out-of-bounds read and crash the application or read parts of system memory on the client system.
