CVE-2026-0964

A malicious SCP server can send unexpected paths that could make the client application override local files outside of working directory. This could be misused to create malicious executable or configuration files and make the user execute them under specific consequences.

This is the same issue as in OpenSSH, tracked as CVE-2019-6111.

The ssh library was designed to be used by programmers needing a working SSH implementation by the mean of a library. The complete control of the client is made by the programmer. With libssh, you can remotely execute programs, transfer files, use a secure and transparent tunnel for your remote programs. With its Secure FTP implementation, you can play with remote files easily, without third-party programs others than libcrypto (from openssl).

A weakness has been identified in libssh up to 0.11.3. The impacted element is the function sftp_extensions_get_name/sftp_extensions_get_data of the file src/sftp.c of the component SFTP Extension Name Handler. Executing a manipulation of the argument idx can lead to out-of-bounds read. The attack may be performed from remote. Upgrading to version 0.11.4 and 0.12.0 is sufficient to resolve this issue. This patch is called 855a0853ad3abd4a6cd85ce06fce6d8d4c7a0b60. You should upgrade the affected component.(CVE-2026-3731)

This is the same issue as in OpenSSH, tracked as CVE-2019-6111.

• CVE-2026-0964: reject invalid filenames in ssh_scp_pull_request to prevent path traversal via SCP

• CVE-2026-0964: SCP path traversal via crafted filenames in ssh_scp_pull_request() allowing files to be written outside the intended directory

CVE-2026-0964 Improper sanitation of paths received from SCP servers CVE-2026-0965 The libssh can attempt to read non-regular files when misconfigured, which could cause resource exhaustion or blocking. CVE-2026-0966 Providing 0-length input for the ssh_get_hexa() causes 1-byte buffer underflow on heap, possibly causing memory corruption. CVE-2026-0967 Pattern matching at various places in libssh could lead to complex backtracking causing timeouts. CVE-2026-0968 Possible read behind bounds of longname
