CVE-2026-111062

A russh SSH server accepts a publickey authentication whose signature uses a different algorithm than the one named in the request

Published Nov 5, 2026 CVSS 4.0 · 2.3 Low EPSS < 1% KEV · Not listed
Description
russh is a Rust SSH client and server library. From version 0.34.0-beta.1 until version 0.64.0, its SSH server does not require the signature algorithm in a public-key authentication signature to match the algorithm named in the authentication request. A client possessing an authorized RSA private key can announce  rsa-sha2-512  while supplying a valid  ssh-rsa  SHA-1 signature, bypassing restrictions or producing misleading audit records when applications rely on the requested algorithm. A valid private-key signature remains required, and russh clients are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.64.0.
