CVE-2026-58050 PUBLISHED

libssh2 - Integer Overflow in publickey Subsystem Attribute Allocation

Assigner: VulnCheck
Reserved: 28.06.2026 Published: 28.06.2026 Updated: 28.06.2026

libssh2 through 1.11.1 reads an attacker-controlled 32-bit attribute count from a publickey-subsystem response and uses it in the allocation num_attrs * sizeof(libssh2_publickey_attribute) without bounds checking, so on 32-bit platforms the multiplication overflows to an undersized buffer. A malicious SSH server can then drive the attribute-parsing loop to write past the allocation, causing a heap buffer overflow in a connecting libssh2 client.
