CVE-2026-0967 · Libssh: libssh: denial of service via inefficient regular expression processing

This page contains facts from public vulnerability sources. Check the original advisory before updating.

A flaw was found in libssh. A remote attacker, by controlling client configuration files or known_hosts files, could craft specific hostnames that when processed by the `match_pattern()` function can lead to inefficient regular expression backtracking. This can cause timeouts and resource exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the client.
