CVE-2026-56855 CVE Medium False Positive

ssh: Connection Deadlock via Unhandled Messages on an Established Channel

This advisory does not affect KrakenD

KrakenD does not implement or expose SSH functionality. The golang.org/x/crypto/ssh package is a transitive dependency, and neither its channel multiplexer nor any other SSH code path runs during KrakenD operation. The dependency was upgraded as a precaution.

Addressed through routine dependency maintenance in CE 2.13.11 and EE 2.13.9.

Component

golang.org/x/crypto (SSH)

Description

Once an SSH channel is established, a malicious peer can send channel messages that Go’s golang.org/x/crypto/ssh multiplexer buffers instead of rejecting. The buffer fills, the mux blocks, and the whole SSH connection deadlocks, a denial of service against the peer. The fix handles every channel message defined in RFC 4254 and treats an unrecognised message as a protocol error that terminates the connection rather than something to queue.
