Tomas Mraz discovered a shell code injection flaw in scp. When doing local-to-local or remote-to-remote copying, scp expanded shell escape characters. By tricking an user into using scp on a specially crafted file name (which could also be caught by using an innocuous wild card like β€˜*’), an attacker could exploit this to execute arbitrary shell commands with the privilege of that user.

Please be aware that scp is not designed to operate securely on untrusted file names, since it needs to stay compatible with rcp.
Please use sftp for automated systems and potentially untrusted file names.

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
