CVE-2026-0966
March 26, 2026
The API function "ssh_get_hexa()" is vulnerable, when 0-lenght input is provided to this function. This function is used internally in "ssh_get_fingerprint_hash()" and "ssh_print_hexa()" (deprecated), which is vulnerable to the same input (length is provided by the calling application). The function is also used internally in the gssapi code for logging the OIDs received by the server during GSSAPI authentication. This could be triggered remotely, when the server allows GSSAPI authentication and logging verbosity is set at least to SSH_LOG_PACKET (3). This could cause self-DoS of the per-connection daemon process.
