CVE-2026-0967 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (libssh), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): open 3, resolved 2.
A flaw was found in libssh. A remote attacker, by controlling client configuration files or known_hosts files, could craft specific hostnames that when processed by the `match_pattern()` function can lead to inefficient regular expression backtracking. This can cause timeouts and resource exhaustion, resulting in a Denial of Service (DoS) for the client.
