russh is a Rust SSH client and server library that includes an SSH agent protocol implementation. From version 0.55.0 until version 0.65.1, the initial key exchange invokes client::Handler::kex_done() with the raw shared secret before check_server_key() accepts the server host key or certificate. A malicious SSH server can therefore trigger application-defined secondary-channel initialization or early data handling even when the server identity is subsequently rejected. Ordinary clients that keep the callback's no-op default or independently defer callback-derived actions until trust is confirmed are not affected. This issue is fixed in version 0.65.1.
