Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libssh.

CVE-2025-8114[0]:
| A flaw was found in libssh, a library that implements the SSH
| protocol. When calculating the session ID during the key exchange
| (KEX) process, an allocation failure in cryptographic functions may
| lead to a NULL pointer dereference. This issue can cause the client
| or server to crash.

At time of this writing I only have found the main reference as the
bugzilla entry from Red Hat.
https://www.libssh.org/security/advisories/ did not yet contain an
advisory for it. Can you maybe ask back to upstream?

If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.

Please adjust the affected versions in the BTS as needed.
