NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream redhat-virtualization-host.src package and not the redhat-virtualization-host.src package as distributed by RHEL.
An integer overflow flaw which could lead to an out of bounds write was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way packets are read from the server. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to execute code on the client system when a user connects to the server.
