Ronald Crane discovered that libssh incorrectly handled certain base64 conversions. An attacker could use this issue to cause libssh to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-4877) Ronald Crane discovered that libssh incorrectly handled the privatekey_from_file() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause libssh to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-4878) Ronald Crane discovered that libssh incorrectly handled certain memory operations in the sftp server. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libssh to crash, resulting in a denial of service. (CVE-2025-5318, CVE-2025-5449) Ronald Crane discovered that libssh incorrectly handled exporting keys. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libssh to crash, resulting in a denial of service. This issue only affected Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.10, and Ubuntu 25.04. (CVE-2025-5351) Ronald Crane discovered that libssh incorrectly handled the ssh_kdf() function. An attacker could use this issue to cause libssh to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2025-5372) Ronald Crane discovered that libssh incorrectly handled the ChaCha20 cipher. An attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libssh to use partially initialized cypher content.
