Multiple scp client vulnerabilities have been discovered in OpenSSH, the premier connectivity tool for secure remote shell login and secure file transfer.

CVE-2018-20685

In scp.c, the scp client allowed remote SSH servers to bypass intended access restrictions via the filename of . or an empty filename. The impact was modifying the permissions of the target directory on the client side.

CVE-2019-6109

Due to missing character encoding in the progress display, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) was able to employ crafted object names to manipulate the client output, e.g., by using ANSI control codes to hide additional files being transferred. This affected refresh_progress_meter() in progressmeter.c.

CVE-2019-6111

Due to the scp implementation being derived from 1983 rcp, the server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. However, the scp client only performed cursory validation of the object name returned (only directory traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious scp server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) was able to overwrite arbitrary files in the scp client target directory. If recursive operation (-r) was performed, the server was able to manipulate subdirectories, as well (for example, to overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file).

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, these problems have been fixed in version 1:6.7p1-5+deb8u8.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.
