Libssh: libssh: denial of service via improper configuration file handling

Published: 3/26/2026 Last updated: 5/19/2026 Reserved: 1/14/2026

A flaw was found in libssh where it can attempt to open arbitrary files during configuration parsing. A local attacker can exploit this by providing a malicious configuration file or when the system is misconfigured. This vulnerability could lead to a Denial of Service (DoS) by causing the system to try and access dangerous files, such as block devices or large system files, which can disrupt normal operations.
