Description

quote website [1]

> JSch is a pure Java implementation of SSH2. JSch allows you to connect
 to an sshd server and use port forwarding, X11 forwarding, file transfer,
etc., and you can integrate its functionality into your own Java programs.
 JSch is licensed under BSD style license.

We have recognized that the following applications have used JSch.

  * Ant(1.6 or later).
    JSch has been used for Ant's sshexec and scp tasks.
  * Eclipse(3.0).
    Our Eclipse-CVSSSH2 plug-in has been included in Eclipse SDK 3.0. 
    This plug-in will allow you to get ssh2 accesses to remote CVS
repository
    by JSch.
  * NetBeans 5.0(and later)
  * Jakarta Commons VFS
  * Maven Wagon
  * Rational Application Devloper for WebSphere Software
  * HP Storage Essentials
  * JIRA
  * Trac WikiOutputStreamPlugin


Summary
-------

A malicious sftp server may force a client-side relative path traversal in
jsch's implementation for recursive sftp-get allowing the server to write
files outside the clients download basedir with effective permissions of the
jsch sftp client process. 

* affects recursive get, i.e. sftp <host>:</path>/* .
* post-auth
* file overwrite capability depends on the client specified mode: 
  `ChannelSftp.get(...,mode==ChannelSftp.OVERWRITE)`
* windows only

see attached PoC

Details
-------

  * examples/Sftp.java::main::
    c.get(p1, p2, monitor, mode);
   * ChannelSftp.java::get(String src, String dst, 
                           SftpProgressMonitor monitor, int mode)
    * ChannelSftp.java::_get(src,dst,monitor,mode,skip)

Proof of Concept
----------------

see ref github.

poc:

1. run `poc.py` to spawn the ssh/sftp stub listening for new connections 
   on `0.0.0.0:3373`:

poc.py --host=0.0.0.0 --port=3373 -l DEBUG -k test_rsa.key

INFO:__main__:[cve-2016-5725] sftp server starting... 
INFO:__main__:* generating fake files

INFO:__main__:* monkey patching: stat
INFO:__main__:* monkey patching: symlink
INFO:__main__:* starting sftp server...
0.0.0.0 3373

2. connect to `poc.py` using jsch sftp-client example `examples/Sftp.java`
   (any user, user password):

sftp> 

3. issue a recursive get (any remote folder will do for the PoC) to store
   all files from `remote:fancyfolder` to `.`.

Note: output may contain additional debug information not enabled by default
      in `examples/Sftp.java`
Note: pwd is `<path>\workspace-ee\jsch`
Note: local output folder is `.` (`<path>\workspace-ee\jsch`)  

sftp> get fancyfolder/* .

3. client connects to `poc.py` with subsystem sftp

4. jsch sftp-client command `get fancyfolder/* .` calls
`opendir(/fancyfolder)`
   on the PoC sftp server which responds with a fake filelist for
`fancyfolder`
   listing the file `/..\..\totally_malicious_script`. 
 
DEBUG:paramiko.transport.sftp:[chan 0] Started sftp server on channel

DEBUG:paramiko.transport.sftp:[chan 0] Request: readdir
DEBUG:paramiko.transport.sftp:[chan 0] Request: readdir
DEBUG:paramiko.transport.sftp:[chan 0] Request: close

5. jsch sftp-client recursively downloads the files listed in the response
   to `opendir(/fancyfolder)` (sftp-get) by
   calling `stat`, `open` and `read` on the file.

a) jsch sftp-client calls `stat` on the filename as returned by the servers
   response to `opendir` (with traversal): 
   `stat(/fancyfolder//..\\..\\totally_malicious_script)`   
b) the sftp-server (PoC) returns file attributes for
`totally_malicious_script` 
   (with traversal)
c) jsch sftp-client requests file `open` on the path (with traversal):
   `open(/fancyfolder//..\..\totally_malicious_script)`
d) jsch sftp-client builds destination path by concatenating the destination
   folder ( `<path>\workspace-ee\jsch\.` ) with the server provided filename
   `/..\..\totally_malicious_script` stripping any data before and including
   `/` of the filename, then receives the remote files contents: `
   <path>\workspace-ee\jsch\.\..\..\totally_malicious_script`
e) the resulting sftp-client local destination path
  `dst <path>\workspace-ee\jsch\.\..\..\totally_malicious_script` is outside
   the basedir `<path>\workspace-ee\jsch\.`

dst <path>\workspace-ee\jsch\.\..\..\totally_malicious_script
_get: /fancyfolder//..\..\totally_malicious_script,
java.io.FileOutputStream@7ccf3329
sftp> 

6. downloaded file is stored in server controlled relative path on client

tintin@testbox ~<path>/workspace-ee/jsch $ ls ../../total*
../../totally_malicious_script

Notes
-----

* the PoC is a slightly modified version `stub_sftp.py` shipped with
  paramiko/tests [4].
* we've seen ssh bots in the wild using jsch probing for weak ssh passwords.
