Summary
CVE-2023-6918 is a vulnerability affecting the libssh library's message digest (MD) operations in various crypto backends. The abstract layer for these operations does not adequately check return values, leading to potential low-memory situations, crashes, NULL dereferences, or usage of uninitialized memory as input for the Key Derivation Function (KDF). Consequently, non-matching keys may result in decryption or integrity failures, ultimately terminating the connection.
