Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 4 vulnerabilities.
1) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU18024
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3855
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.
MitigationInstall updates from vendor's website.

2) Integer overflow
EUVDB-ID: #VU18023
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3856
CWE-ID:
CWE-190 - Integer overflow
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe 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.

4) Out-of-bounds write
EUVDB-ID: #VU18254
Risk: Medium
CVSSv3.1: 6.5 [CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:H/I:H/A:H/E:U/RL:O/RC:C]
CVE-ID: CVE-2019-3863
CWE-ID:
CWE-787 - Out-of-bounds write
Exploit availability: No
Description
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.
