{"id":"CVE-2026-94029","published":"2026-09-30T10:17:18.010","lastModified":"2026-09-30T20:17:37.383","description":"Server-side memory exhaustion in Apache MINA SSHD 1.0.0 to 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M1 to 3.0.0-M5, component sshd-sftp, in the SFTP v6 check-file-name/check-file-handle extension. Apache MINA SSHD is a Java library for client-side and server-side SSH.\n\n\n\n\nUsing a very small \"block size\" (for instance 256, which is the minimum) on a huge file generates many (file size / block size) hashes. The resulting SFTP reply message was accumulated fully in memory server-side, which could, with a suitably large (possibly sparse) file exhaust the server-side memory, taking down the server.\n\n\n\n\nUsers are recommended to upgrade to version 2.20.0 or 3.0.0-M6, which fix this issue by imposing a maximum limit on the size of the reply. Many SFTP implementations have a general limit on the size of SFTP messages anyway; typically 256kB as in OpenSSH or also in Apache MINA SSHD.","cvssScore":6.5,"cvssSeverity":"MEDIUM","cvssVector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:L/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","cwes":["CWE-770"],"vendors":[],"products":[],"references":[{"url":"https://lists.apache.org/thread.html/ytbl4rwby62xl7llm3wp7k975wwdx99t","tags":[]},{"url":"http://www.openwall.com/lists/oss-security/2026/09/29/37","tags":[]}],"exploitRefs":[],"hasPoc":false,"ai":null}
