NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream libssh-devel package and not the libssh-devel package as distributed by RHEL.

A flaw was found in libssh. On servers with GSSAPIKeyExchange enabled, the gssapi-keyex path does not verify whether the authenticated Kerberos principal is authorized for the requested local user, allowing authenticated clients to log in as arbitrary users.
