AsyncSSH is a Python package which provides an asynchronous client and server implementation of the SSHv2 protocol on top of the Python 3.4+ asyncio framework. It has been discovered that it is vulnerable to

CVE-2023-46445

A vulnerability has been discovered that allows attackers to control the extension info message (RFC 8308) via a man-in-the-middle attack (aka Rogue Extension Negotiation).

CVE-2023-46446

A vulnerability has been discovered that allows attackers to control the remote end of an SSH client session via packet injection/removal and shell emulation (aka Rogue Session attack).

CVE-2023-48795

A vulnerability has been discovered allows remote attackers to bypass integrity checks, and a client and server may consequently end up with a connection for which some security features have been downgraded or disabled (aka Terrapin attack).

For Debian 11 bullseye, these problems have been fixed in version 2.5.0-0.1+deb11u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your python-asyncssh packages.
