CVE-2026-39835

Public on 2026-05-22
Modified on 2026-05-22
Description
SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil.
