CVE-2026-102822: russh: negotiating a MAC-requiring block cipher (CTR/CBC) with mac=none causes a slice-index-out-of-range panic

SshBlockCipher implementations (AES-CBC, AES-CTR, 3DES-CBC, etc.) report needs_mac() == true, meaning they are documented/intended to always be paired with a separate integrity MAC. However, key-exchange negotiation only checks needs_mac() inside the fallback branch of MAC algorithm selection (used when no common MAC algorithm exists). If both peers’ preferred MAC lists simply contain none and it is successfully negotiated through the normal selection path, nothing rejects pairing none with a cipher that requires a MAC. Once negotiated, a single crafted packet from either peer causes cipher::read() to shrink an already-allocated buffer below the number of bytes it is about to index, causing a Rust slice-index-out-of-range panic and killing that connection’s task.
