Description
The x/crypto/ssh package before 0.0.0-20211202192323-5770296d904e of golang.org/x/crypto allows an attacker to panic an SSH server.
There's an input validation flaw in golang.org/x/crypto's readCipherPacket() function. An unauthenticated attacker who sends an empty plaintext packet to a program linked with golang.org/x/crypto/ssh could cause a panic, potentially leading to denial of service.
