CVE-2020-22218

libssh2 1.11.1, fixed in commit 97acf3d, contains an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in ssh2_transport_read() that fails to enforce upper bounds on the packet_length field. Remote attackers can send crafted SSH packets with excessively large packet_length values to corrupt heap memory and achieve remote code execution.

An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way SSH packets with a padding length value greater than the packet length are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to cause a Denial of Service or read data in the client memory.

An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way SFTP packets with empty payloads are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to cause a Denial of Service or read data in the client memory.

In libssh2 before 1.8.1, an integer overflow flaw which could lead to an out of bounds write was discovered in the way SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packets with an exit signal are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to execute code on the client system when a user connects to the server.

In libssh2 before 1.8.1, an integer overflow flaw, which could lead to an out of bounds write, was discovered in the way keyboard prompt requests are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to execute code on the client system when a user connects to the server.

An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 when a specially crafted SFTP packet is received from the server. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to cause a Denial of Service or read data in the client memory.

An integer overflow flaw leading to an out-of-bounds write was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way packets are read from the server. A remote attacker who compromises an SSH server may execute code on the client system when a user connects.

An out-of-bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packets with an exit status message and no payload are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises an SSH server may cause a Denial of Service or read data from client memory.

An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the _libssh2_packet_require and _libssh2_packet_requirev functions. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to cause a Denial of Service or read data in the client memory.

Pre-authentication heap buffer overflow in libssh2 up to 1.11.1, allowing a malicious SSH server to corrupt client heap metadata by sending a packet with packet_length smaller than cipher block size during Encrypt-then-MAC negotiation.
