CVE-2026-46702: russh: Post-decompression SSH packet size was not bounded, allowing remote oversized compressed packets

May 29, 2026 (updated June 11, 2026)

When SSH compression is enabled, russh accepted compressed packets whose on-wire size passed the normal transport packet-length checks but whose decompressed size was much larger. This allowed a remote peer to send oversized post-decompression packets that should have been rejected.

In current releases, this is a remote denial-of-service / resource-exhaustion issue in the post-decompression receive path.

In older releases before 0.58.0, the same remote decompression path used CryptoVec, which appears to make the historical impact worse.
