OpenSSH server (sshd) 9.1 introduced a double-free vulnerability during options.kex_algorithms handling. This is fixed in OpenSSH 9.2. The double free can be leveraged, by an unauthenticated remote attacker in the default configuration, to jump to any location in the sshd address space. One third-party report states "remote code execution is theoretically possible."

This vulnerability is of the "double-free" type, which occurs during the processing of key exchange (KEX) algorithms in OpenSSH. A "double-free" vulnerability happens when memory that has already been freed is freed again. This issue can indirectly lead to remote code execution (RCE) by an attacker.
