libssh : fix CVE-2025-8114

A flaw was found in libssh, a library that implements the SSH protocol.
When calculating the session ID during the key exchange (KEX) process,
an allocation failure in cryptographic functions may lead to a NULL
pointer dereference. This issue can cause the client or server to crash.
