Description Andrej Nemec 2019-03-11 09:00:00 UTC
A server could send a specially crafted SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packet with an
exit status message and no payload. This would result in an out of bounds
memory comparison.

Comment 16 Doran Moppert 2021-02-02 04:08:30 UTC
Statement:

This flaw was present in libssh2 packages included in Red Hat Virtualization Hypervisor and Management Appliance, however libssh2 in these hosts is never exposed to malicious clients or servers.

libssh2 is no longer included in the virt module since Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.1.
