Description:
A vulnerability has been reported in NetBSD, which can be exploited by malicious people to cause a DoS (Denial of Service).
The vulnerability is caused due to a boundary error in the SHA2 implementation and can be exploited to cause a buffer overflow with 4 or 8 constant bytes.
NOTE: This results in a heap-based buffer overflow in the libssh library and in a stack-based buffer overflow in pkg_install.
