A flaw was found in libssh. Incorrect AES-GCM finalization checks in builds using the OpenSSL backend can effectively remove integrity protection, allowing an in-path attacker to modify plaintext on the wire without detection.
Weakness
The product incorrectly checks a return value from a function, which prevents it from detecting errors or exceptional conditions.
