Debian: DSA-4387-1: openssh security update
Summary
CVE-2018-20685
Due to improper directory name validation, the scp client allows servers to
modify permissions of the target directory by using empty or dot directory
name.
CVE-2019-6109
Due to missing character encoding in the progress display, the object name
can be used to manipulate the client output, for example to employ ANSI
codes to hide additional files being transferred.
CVE-2019-6111
Due to scp client insufficient input validation in path names sent by
server, a malicious server can do arbitrary file overwrites in target
directory. If the recursive (-r) option is provided, the server can also
manipulate subdirectories as well.
.
The check added in this version can lead to regression if the client and
the server have differences in wildcard expansion rules. If the server is
trusted for that purpose, the check can be disabled with a new -T option to
the scp client.
For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in
version 1:7.4p1-10+deb9u5.
We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.
