CVE-2026-78662 CVE Medium False Positive

ssh: Connection Deadlock via Request Flood on an Unconfirmed 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.

Description

A malicious SSH peer can flood the incomingRequests buffer of a channel that has not yet been confirmed. Because the channel is not usable, Go’s golang.org/x/crypto/ssh multiplexer blocks trying to process those packets and the entire connection deadlocks, a denial of service. The fix tracks an atomic established state per channel and discards any packet other than a confirmation or failure until the channel is usable, so the mux never blocks on an unconfirmed channel.
