How to fix?

to version 1.8.1-r0 or higher.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libssh2
package and not the libssh2
package as distributed by Alpine
.
See How to fix?
for Alpine:3.7
relevant fixed versions and status.
An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packets with an exit status message and no payload are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to cause a Denial of Service or read data in the client memory.
