If an attacker manages to exhaust the heap space, this error is not detected and may lead to libssh using a partially initialized cipher context. This occurs because the OpenSSL error code returned aliases with the SSH_OK code, resulting in libssh not properly detecting the error returned by the OpenSSL library. This issue can lead to undefined behavior, including compromised data confidentiality and integrity or crashes."}, {"lang": "es", "value": "Se detect\u00f3 una falla en libssh al usar el cifrado ChaCha20 con la librer\u00eda OpenSSL. Si un atacante logra agotar el espacio del mont\u00f3n, este error no se detecta y puede provocar que libssh use un contexto de cifrado parcialmente inicializado. Esto se debe a que el c\u00f3digo de error de OpenSSL devolvi\u00f3 alias con el c\u00f3digo SSH_OK, lo que impide que libssh detecte correctamente el error devuelto por la librer\u00eda OpenSSL. Este problema puede provocar un comportamiento indefinido, como la confidencialidad e integridad de los datos comprometidas o fallos."}], "lastModified": "2025-07-08T16:18:34.923", "sourceIdentifier": "secalert@redhat.com"}
