The strncat() call is then effectively unbounded and copies the whole component; when that component exactly fills the remainder of the buffer, its terminating null is written one byte past the end. The caller's own length check keeps the copied data inside the buffer, so the overflow is limited to that single null byte, which may corrupt an adjacent stack value and crash the process. Applications that call the public wolfSSH_RealPath() with an output buffer smaller than the input path are additionally exposed to an unbounded copy, because the word32 expression outSz - segSz in that length check also wraps.","state":0,"publishedAt":"2026-10-07T02:41:48.911+00:00","modifiedAt":"2026-10-07T11:30:28.937+00:00","affected":[{"ecosystem":"Vendor product","name":"wolfSSH","ranges":[],"versions":[],"rawVersionEvidence":"{\n                    \"vendor\": \"wolfSSL Inc.\",\n                    \"product\": \"wolfSSH\",\n                    \"repo\": \"https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssh\",\n                    \"programFiles\": [\n                        \"src/port.c\",\n                        \"src/ssh.c\"\n                    ],\n                    \"versions\": [\n                        {\n                            \"status\": \"affected\",\n                            \"version\": \"1.4.11\",\n                            \"lessThanOrEqual\": \"1.5.0\",\n                            \"changes\": [\n                                {\n                                    \"at\": \"1.6.0\",\n                                    \"status\": \"unaffected\"\n                                }\n                            ],\n                            \"versionType\": \"semver\"\n                        }\n                    ],\n                    \"defaultStatus\": \"unaffected\"\n                }"}],"metrics":[{"system":"CVSS 4.0","vector":"CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:N/VI:L/VA:L/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/AU:N","score":5.3,"severity":"MEDIUM"}],"references":["https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssh/pull/1084","https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssh/commit/822e4464560b467580ea37a2fc03b0988d88b71f","https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssh/commit/513e52b18927a4e3f7cf17ecaf107958e56139de","https://github.com/wolfSSL/wolfssh/commit/fbc7cd88a23b59a45a584020a4c7242d9bd70f35"],"sourceUrl":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2026-83742","license":"CVE Program Terms of Use","key":"cve-program:CVE-2026-83742","identifiers":["CVE-2026-83742"]},"retained":false,"historicalAffected":[]}],"coverage":[{"source":"cisa-kev:global","scope":"Complete CISA KEV catalog; all vendors.
