Is CVE-2026-59845 exploited?

No exploitation is reported in the sources VulniPulse tracks: CVE-2026-59845 is not in the CISA KEV catalog (checked Nov 6, 2026) and no tracked advisory for it reports exploitation. That is not proof the vulnerability cannot be exploited.

How do I fix CVE-2026-59845?

Upgrade to a fixed release named by the vendor:

Red Hat: libssh-0:0.12.0-3.el10_2, libssh-0:0.9.6-17.el8_10, libssh-0:0.10.4-19.el9_8, libssh-main-0.12.1-4.hum1, RHSA-2026:55855, RHSA-2026:62218

To mitigate this issue, avoid using the ProxyCommand feature in libssh client configurations. This prevents the vulnerable code path from being exercised, thereby eliminating the risk of local denial of service due to unchecked fork() failures. (Red Hat)

Advisory severityMedium5.3
Medium [CVE-2026-59845] denial of service via unchecked ProxyCommand fork failure
CVE-2026-59845Source published Jul 21, 2026Source updated Jul 21, 2026
A flaw was found in libssh. When ProxyCommand is used, an unchecked fork() failure can be stored as process ID -1; during cleanup, signals may then be sent across the caller's accessible process tree, leading to local denial of service. This Moderate flaw in libssh client-side ProxyCommand handling can lead to a local denial of service. This issue specifically impacts environments utilizing ProxyCommand functionality. Red Hat severity: Moderate — CVSS 5.3 (CVSS:3.1/AV:L/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:N/I:N/A:H). Weakness: CWE-390. Affected Red Hat products: Red Hat Enterprise Linux 10; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8; Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9; Red Hat Hardened Images.
