Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 vulnerability.


1) Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions (CVE-ID: CVE-2026-59845)

CWE-ID: CWE-703 - Improper Check or Handling of Exceptional Conditions

CVSSv4: 6.8 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:N/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N]


The vulnerability allows a local user to cause a denial of service.

The vulnerability exists due to improper handling of fork() failure in ProxyCommand execution in the libssh client when cleaning up a session after executing a ProxyCommand. A local user can trigger a fork() failure and then cause the process to send a KILL signal to process group -1 to cause a denial of service.

This issue affects the client only and typically occurs under low-memory conditions.
