Arch Linux Security Advisory ASA-202004-11
==========================================
Severity: Medium
Date : 2020-04-09
CVE-ID : CVE-2020-1730
Package : libssh
Type : denial of service
Remote : Yes
Link : https://security.archlinux.org/AVG-1130
Summary
=======
The package libssh before version 0.9.4-1 is vulnerable to denial of
service.
Resolution
==========
Upgrade to 0.9.4-1.
# pacman -Syu "libssh>=0.9.4-1"
The problem has been fixed upstream in version 0.9.4.
Workaround
==========
This issue can be mitigated by disabling AES-CTR ciphers.
Description
===========
A malicious client or server could crash the counterpart implemented
with libssh before 0.9.4. When AES-CTR ciphers are used and don't get
fully initialized, libssh will crash when it tries to cleanup the AES-
CTR ciphers when closing the connection.
Impact

A malicious client or server could crash the counterpart via a crafted
SSH connection.
