A flaw was found in libssh. Logic errors in automatic certificate-based public key authentication can cause libssh clients to loop indefinitely when configured certificates are missing or repeatedly rejected by a server, leading to denial of service.
Weakness
The product contains an iteration or loop with an exit condition that cannot be reached, i.e., an infinite loop.
