A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause libssh to\n access non-regular files, resulting in a denial of service.

A local attacker could possibly use this issue to cause\n libssh to consume resources, resulting in a denial of service.\n (CVE-2026-0967)\n\n It was discovered that the libssh SFTP client incorrectly handled certain\n malformed longname fields.
