CVE-2026-15370

Red Hat Red Hat Hardened Images, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8

A flaw was found in libssh. During SFTP server directory listing, the longname field is constructed with unsafe concatenation into a fixed-size stack buffer. When a client causes the server to list attacker-controlled filenames, sufficiently long names can overflow that stack buffer and may lead to crashes or possible code execution on the server.
