Description
This security bulletin contains information about 4 secuirty vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3855)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow in the _libssh2_transport_read() function in transport.cwhen processing packet_lengthvalues. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
2) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3856)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when parsing keyboard prompt requests. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
3) Integer overflow (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3857)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary code on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to integer overflow when parsing SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packets. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger integer overflow and execute arbitrary code on the target system.
Successful exploitation of this vulnerability may result in complete compromise of vulnerable system.
4) Out-of-bounds write (CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3863)
The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to compromise vulnerable system.
The vulnerability exists due to a boundary error when processing total length of multiple keyboard interactive response messages that exceeds the value of unsigned char max characters. A remote attacker can trick the victim to connect to a malicious SSH server, trigger our of bounds write and execute arbitrary code on the system with privileges of the user, running the affected application.
