libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 42e33d8, contains a pre-authentication heap buffer overflow vulnerability that allows a malicious SSH server to corrupt heap metadata in any connecting client by sending a packet with a packet_length smaller than the cipher's block size during Encrypt-then-MAC cipher negotiation. In the fullpacket() function in src/transport.c, the ETM path allocates a buffer of packet_length bytes but copies blocksize minus one bytes via memcpy, causing an overflow that on 32-bit glibc writes attacker-controlled bytes into an adjacent chunk's SIZE field, enabling tcache bin confusion, overlapping live objects, and function pointer overwrite during the session handshake before authentication.

A flaw was found in libssh2. A malicious SSH server can exploit a pre-authentication heap buffer overflow vulnerability by sending a specially crafted packet during the Encrypt-then-MAC (ETM) cipher negotiation. This allows the server to corrupt heap memory, potentially leading to arbitrary code execution on the connecting client before authentication is complete.
