+Subject: [PATCH] CVE-2026-59843 channels: Fail when receiving max packet size
+ 0
+MIME-Version: 1.0
+Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
+Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
+
+Do this both for SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN and for
+SSH2_MSG_CHANNEL_OPEN_CONFIRMATION. Using the
+max packet size 0 would lead to an infinite loop
+in channel_write_common.
+
+Originally reported by Rinku Das on on 23th February.
+Independently reported by Yi Lin on 26th February and
+Haruto Kimura on 22nd March.
+
+We do not consider this as a security issue as connecting
+to untrusted servers on the internet brings much worse
+security consequences than hanging your clinet.
