EulerOS 2.0 SP13 : libssh (EulerOS-SA-2025-2267)

high Nessus Plugin ID 271353

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

According to the versions of the libssh package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

 A vulnerability was found in libssh, where an uninitialized variable exists under certain conditions in the privatekey_from_file() function. This flaw can be triggered if the file specified by the filename doesn't exist and may lead to possible signing failures or heap corruption.(CVE-2025-4878)

 A flaw was found in the libssh library. An out-of-bounds read can be triggered in the sftp_handle function due to an incorrect comparison check that permits the function to access memory beyond the valid handle list and to return an invalid pointer, which is used in further processing. This vulnerability allows an authenticated remote attacker to potentially read unintended memory regions, exposing sensitive information or affect service behavior.(CVE-2025-5318)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS libssh security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected libssh packages.
