Hi,

The following vulnerability was published for libssh.

CVE-2025-8277[0]:
| A flaw was found in libssh's handling of key exchange (KEX)
| processes when a client repeatedly sends incorrect KEX guesses. The
| library fails to free memory during these rekey operations, which
| can gradually exhaust system memory. This issue can lead to crashes
| on the client side, particularly when using libgcrypt, which impacts
| application stability and availability.


If you fix the vulnerability please also make sure to include the
CVE (Common Vulnerabilities & Exposures) id in your changelog entry.
