CVE-2019-13115

libssh2: integer overflow in kex_method_diffie_hellman_group_exchange_sha256_key_exchange in kex.c leads to out-of-bounds write

Published Jul 16, 2019 CVSS 3.1 · 8.1 High EPSS 11.7% KEV · Not listed
Description
In libssh2 before 1.9.0, kex_method_diffie_hellman_group_exchange_sha256_key_exchange in kex.c has an integer overflow that could lead to an out-of-bounds read in the way packets are read from the server. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to disclose sensitive information or cause a denial of service condition on the client system when a user connects to the server. This is related to an _libssh2_check_length mistake, and is different from the various issues fixed in 1.8.1, such as CVE-2019-3855.
