russh Library Channel Write Hang Vulnerability

Evidence confidence

Short explanation

A vulnerability in the russh library causes channel write operations to permanently hang due to a peer-declared zero maximum packet size [S0].

Why does it matter?

An authenticated client or a malicious server can cause resource accumulation and lock channel operations without surfacing an error [S0].

What should be done?

  • Upgrade to version 0.65.0 or later [S0].
  • Follow vendor advisories [S0].
Chain of evidence and sources2 verified claims

0.60.0 ile 0.65.0 arasındaki russh sürümleri sıfır maksimum paket boyutu nedeniyle asılı kalma açığına açıktır.

Bu sorun versiyon 0.65.0 ile giderilmiştir.

Show the technical text from the sources

russh is a Rust SSH client and server library that includes an SSH agent protocol implementation. From 0.60.0 until 0.65.0, channel-open parsing accepts a peer-declared maximum_packet_size of zero and passes it into ChannelTx::poll_writable in russh/src/channels/io/tx.rs. The Channel::data, Channel::make_writer, and Channel::into_stream asynchronous write paths then calculate a writable size of zero and remain pending forever because window adjustments cannot satisfy a static zero packet maximum. An authenticated client can strand server writes, and a malicious server can strand client writes, allowing affected tasks, channels, and connections to accumulate without surfacing an error. This issue is fixed in version 0.65.0.
