3.1 lowCVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:LCVE-2026-0968
Low (3.1). EPSS 0.5% chance of exploitation in the next 30 days.
A flaw was found in libssh in which a malicious SFTP (SSH File Transfer Protocol) server can exploit this by sending a malformed 'longname' field within an `SSH_FXP_NAME` message during a file listing operation. This missing null check can lead to reading beyond allocated memory on the heap. This can cause unexpected behavior or lead to a denial of service (DoS) due to application crashes.
