CVE-2026-39834 — Invoking infinite loop on large channel writes in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh

Affected: golang.org/x/crypto/ssh

When writing data larger than 4GB in a single Write call on an SSH channel, an integer overflow in the internal payload size calculation caused the write loop to spin indefinitely, sending empty packets without making progress. The size comparison now uses int64 to prevent truncation.

USN-8447-1 — golang-go.crypto vulnerabilities

Affected: Ubuntu:Pro:16.04:LTS: golang-go.crypto, Ubuntu:Pro:18.04:LTS: golang-go.crypto, Ubuntu:Pro:20.04:LTS: golang-go.crypto, Ubuntu:Pro:22.04:LTS: golang-go.crypto, Ubuntu:Pro:24.04:LTS: golang-go.crypto, Ubuntu:Pro:26.04:LTS: golang-go.crypto

It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly handle SSH global request responses. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-39830)

It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly verify user presence when using FIDO/U2F security keys. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass user presence verification for hardware security keys. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-39831)

It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly serialize SSH agent key constraint extensions. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass intended key usage restrictions. This issue only affected Ubuntu 20.04 LTS, Ubuntu 22.04 LTS, Ubuntu 24.04 LTS, and Ubuntu 26.04 LTS. (CVE-2026-39832)

It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly enforce the confirm-before-use constraint in the SSH agent keyring. An attacker could possibly use this issue to use SSH keys without the required user confirmation. (CVE-2026-39833)

It was discovered that Go Cryptography had an integer overflow when handling large SSH channel writes. A remote attacker could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-39834)

It was discovered that Go Cryptography did not properly check certificate authority key revocation. An attacker could possibly use this issue to bypass certificate authority revocation checks. This issue only affected Ubuntu 1…
