Invoking server panic during CheckHostKey/Authenticate in golang.org/x/crypto/ssh

GO-2026-5015 · CVE-2026-39835

Published · Modified

Description

SSH servers which use CertChecker as a public key callback without setting IsUserAuthority or IsHostAuthority could be caused to panic by a client presenting a certificate. CertChecker now returns an error instead of panicking when these callbacks are nil.
