CVE-2025-58181

A flaw was found in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh. An attacker can exploit this vulnerability by sending specially crafted GSSAPI (Generic Security Service Application Program Interface) authentication requests to an SSH (Secure Shell) server. The server fails to validate the number of mechanisms specified in these requests, leading to unbounded memory consumption. This can result in a Denial of Service (DoS), making the SSH server unavailable to legitimate users.

This vulnerability is rated Moderate for Red Hat. SSH servers utilizing golang.org/x/crypto/ssh and configured to process GSSAPI authentication requests are susceptible to unbounded memory consumption. An attacker can exploit this by sending specially crafted GSSAPI authentication requests, potentially leading to a denial of service.
