Description

An authentication bypass vulnerability has been discovered in libssh versions prior to 0.7.6 and 0.8.4, in the server-side state machine. By presenting the server an SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_SUCCESS message in place of the SSH2_MSG_USERAUTH_REQUEST message which the server would expect to initiate authentication, the attacker could successfully authenticate without any credentials, resulting in unauthorized access.
