Does this matter?

High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (6.13%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.

Description

An integer overflow flaw which could lead to an out of bounds write was discovered in libssh2 before 1.8.1 in the way SSH_MSG_CHANNEL_REQUEST packets with an exit signal are parsed. A remote attacker who compromises a SSH server may be able to execute code on the client system when a user connects to the server.
