Description

This security bulletin contains information about 1 security vulnerability.


1) Input validation error (CVE-ID: CVE-2021-43565)

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.

The vulnerability exists due to insufficient validation of user-supplied input when parsing a Signer to ServerConfig.AddHostKey in cases where the Signer passed to AddHostKey does not implement AlgorithmSigner or the Signer passed to AddHostKey returns a key of type “ssh-rsa” from its PublicKey method. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted input to the application and perform a denial of service (DoS) attack.
