Is CVE-2026-66032 exploited?

No exploitation is reported in the sources VulniPulse tracks: CVE-2026-66032 is not in the CISA KEV catalog (checked ) and no tracked advisory for it reports exploitation. That is not proof the vulnerability cannot be exploited.

How do I fix CVE-2026-66032?

Upgrade to a fixed release named by the vendor:

  • Red Hat: 1.11.1, libssh2-0:1.8.0-4.el7_9.2, libssh2-main-1.11.1-10.2.hum1, RHSA-2026:61752, RHSA-2026:46927
  • Restrict your libssh2 clients to connect only to fully trusted, internal SFTP servers to eliminate exposure to malicious server responses. Additionally, configure dependent applications with Restart=on-failure in systemd so RHEL's glibc memory protections can safely crash and auto-recover the process during an attack. (Red Hat)

    Medium [CVE-2026-66032] Arbitrary code execution via double-free in SFTP session

    CVE-2026-66032Source published Source updated

    libssh2 through 1.11.1, fixed in commit 5e47761, contains a double-free vulnerability in the sftp_open() function in src/sftp.c that allows a malicious SSH server to corrupt the heap of any authenticated client opening an SFTP session. When a server responds to SSH_FXP_OPEN with SSH_FXP_STATUS containing FX_OK, the response data buffer is freed, and if a subsequent sftp_packet_require() call returns a specific error such as LIBSSH2_ERROR_CHANNEL_PACKET_EXCEEDED, the same pointer is freed a second time, enabling tcache dup conditions on glibc systems that allow overlapping allocations and function pointer overwrites. A flaw was found in libssh2. This heap corruption can lead to arbitrary code execution on the client system, giving the attacker control over the affected system. This flaw…
