NVD Description

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

Double free vulnerability in the sftp_mkdir function in sftp.c in libssh before 0.5.3 allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (crash) and possibly execute arbitrary code via unspecified vectors, a different vector than CVE-2012-4559.
