Summary

Russh (Rust SSH client & server library) versions 0.37.0 through 0.61.0 contain a vulnerability in the keyboard-interactive authentication path. A malicious SSH server can send USERAUTH_INFO_REQUEST with a controlled prompt count, and the client uses that count directly in Vec::with_capacity(...) before validation, potentially causing memory issues.

Risk Assessment

The organization is at risk of denial-of-service (DoS) or potential code execution when connecting to a malicious SSH server.

Recommendation

Upgrade the russh library to version 0.61.0 or later, which includes the fix.

Original NVD description (English source)

Russh is a Rust SSH client & server library. From version 0.37.0 to before version 0.61.0, in the russh client keyboard-interactive authentication path, a malicious SSH server could send a USERAUTH_INFO_REQUEST with an attacker-controlled prompt count, and the client would use that raw count directly in Vec::with_capacity(...) before validating that enough prompt data was actually present in the packet. This issue has been patched in version 0.61.0.
