A flaw was found in libssh. When ProxyCommand is used, an unchecked fork() failure can be stored as process ID -1; during cleanup, signals may then be sent across the caller's accessible process tree, leading to local denial of service.
Отчет
This Moderate flaw in libssh client-side ProxyCommand handling can lead to a local denial of service. When ProxyCommand is configured, an unchecked fork() failure may result in signals being sent across the process tree, disrupting local system availability. This issue specifically impacts environments utilizing ProxyCommand functionality.
Меры по смягчению последствий
To mitigate this issue, avoid using the ProxyCommand feature in libssh client configurations. This prevents the vulnerable code path from being exercised, thereby eliminating the risk of local denial of service due to unchecked fork() failures.
