The libssh team reports:

In an environment where a user is only allowed to copy files and not to execute applications, it would be possible to pass a location which contains commands to be executed in additon.

When the libssh SCP client connects to a server, the scp command, which includes a user-provided path, is executed on the server-side. In case the library is used in a way where users can influence the third parameter of ssh_scp_new(), it would become possible for an attacker to inject arbitrary commands, leading to a compromise of the remote target.

The libssh team reports (originally reported by Yasheng Yang from Google):

A malicious client or server could crash the counterpart implemented with libssh AES-CTR ciphers are used and don't get fully initialized. It will crash when it tries to cleanup the AES-CTR ciphers when closing the connection.

libssh security advisories:

The SSH protocol keeps track of two shared secrets during the lifetime of the session. One of them is called `secret_hash` and and the other `session_id`. Initially, both of them are the same, but after key re-exchange, previous `session_id` is kept and used as an input to new `secret_hash`.

Historically, both of these buffers had shared length variable, which worked as long as these buffers were same. But the key re-exchange operation can also change the key exchange method, which can be based on hash of different size, eventually creating `secret_hash` of different size than the `session_id` has.

This becomes an issue when the `session_id` memory is zeroized or when it is used again during second key re-exchange.
