GermanyThe open-source SSH library libssh2 has two security vulnerabilities that could allow attackers to execute malicious code or launch denial-of-service attacks. These flaws, documented as CVE-2026-55200 (critical) and CVE-2026-55199 (high), are present in all versions up to 1.11.1. Patches have been committed to the GitHub repository but have not yet been released as an official update. Some Linux distributions, like Debian, are testing a patched version (1.11.1-3), while others, such as Kali Linux, may already include the fix. The lack of an official release leaves systems using libssh2 potentially exposed until the updated version is widely distributed.
