EulerOS Virtualization 2.12.0 : libssh (EulerOS-SA-2026-1496)
high Nessus Plugin ID 302578
Synopsis
The remote EulerOS Virtualization host is missing multiple security updates.Description
According to the versions of the libssh package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :A flaw was found in libssh's handling of key exchange (KEX) processes when a client repeatedly sends incorrect KEX guesses. The library fails to free memory during these rekey operations, which can gradually exhaust system memory. This issue can lead to crashes on the client side, particularly when using libgcrypt, which impacts application stability and availability.(CVE-2025-8277)
A flaw was found in libssh versions built with OpenSSL versions older than 3.0, specifically in the ssh_kdf() function responsible for key derivation. Due to inconsistent interpretation of return values where OpenSSL uses 0 to indicate failure and libssh uses 0 for successthe function may mistakenly return a success status even when key derivation fails. This results in uninitialized cryptographic key buffers being used in subsequent communication, potentially compromising SSH sessions' confidentiality, integrity, and availability.(CVE-2025-5372)
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 Virtualization 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.
