USN-8722-1: libssh2 vulnerabilities

Ubuntu September 3, 2026

It was discovered that libssh2 incorrectly handled certain SFTP server responses. A remote attacker controlling an SSH server could use this issue to cause libssh2 to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2026-66032 ) It was discovered that libssh2 incorrectly handled AES-GCM cipher negotiation. A remote attacker controlling an SSH server could possibly use this issue to cause libssh2 to crash, resulting in a denial of service. ( CVE-2026-66033 ) It was discovered that libssh2 incorrectly handled Encrypt-then-MAC cipher negotiation. A remote attacker controlling an SSH server could use this issue to cause libssh2 to crash or possibly execute arbitrary code. ( CVE-2026-66035 )

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions:
