Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
Description
Multiple SSH2 servers and clients do not properly handle strings with null characters in them when the string length is specified by a length field, which could allow remote attackers to cause a denial of service or possibly execute arbitrary code due to interactions with the use of null-terminated strings as implemented using languages such as C, as demonstrated by the SSHredder SSH protocol test suite.
