A server could send a specially crafted SSH packet with a padding length value greater than the packet length. This would result in a buffer read out of bounds when decompressing the packet or result in a corrupted packet value.

An out of bounds read flaw was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way SFTP packets with empty payloads are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to cause a Denial of Service or read data in the client memory.

A server could send a SSHMSGCHANNELREQUEST packet with an exit signal message with a length of max unsigned integer value. The length would then have a value of 1 added to it and used to allocate memory causing a possible memory write out of bounds error or zero byte allocation.
