TITLE

OpenSSH Input validation vulnerability

DESCRIPTION

An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. 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 performs cursory validation of the object name returned (only directory traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious scp server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the scp client target directory. If recursive operation (-r) is performed, the server can manipulate subdirectories as well (for example, to overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file). OpenSSH Contains an input validation vulnerability.Information may be tampered with. OpenSSH is prone to an arbitrary file-overwrite vulnerability. Successful exploits may allow an attacker to overwrite arbitrary files in the context of the user running the affected application. OpenSSH 7.9 and prior versions are vulnerable. - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Gentoo Linux Security Advisory GLSA 201903-16 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - https://security.gentoo.org/ - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Severity: Normal Title: OpenSSH: Multiple vulnerabilities Date: March 20, 2019 Bugs: #675520, #675522 ID: 201903-16 - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - - Synopsis ======== Multiple vulnerabilities have been found in OpenSSH, the worst of which could allow a remote attacker to gain unauthorized access.

Description ----------- Many scp clients fail to verify if the objects returned by the scp server match those it asked for. This issue dates back to 1983 and rcp, on which scp is based. A separate flaw in the client allows the target directory attributes to be changed arbitrarily. Finally, two vulnerabilities in clients may allow server to spoof the client output. Details ------- The discovered vulnerabilities, described in more detail below, enables the attack described here in brief. 1. The transfer of extra files is hidden by sending ANSI control sequences via stderr. For example: user@local:~$ scp user@remote:readme.txt . readme.txt 100% 494 1.6KB/s 00:00 user@local:~$ 2. Once the victim launches a new shell, the malicious commands in .bash_aliases get executed. *) Man-in-the-Middle attack does require the victim to accept the wrong host fingerprint. Vulnerabilities --------------- 1. 2. The same vulnerability in WinSCP is known as CVE-2018-20684. 3. CWE-451: scp client spoofing via object 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. 4. Proof-of-Concept ---------------- Proof of concept malicious scp server will be released at a later date. Vulnerable versions ------------------- The following software packages have some or all vulnerabilities: ver #1 #2 #3 #4 OpenSSH scp <=7.9 x x x x PuTTY PSCP ? - - x x WinSCP scp mode <=5.13 - x - - Tectia SSH scpg3 is not affected since it exclusively uses sftp protocol. Mitigation ---------- 1. OpenSSH 1.1 Switch to sftp if possible 1.2 Alternatively apply the following patch to harden scp against most server-side manipulation attempts: https://sintonen.fi/advisories/scp-name-validator.patch NOTE: This patch may cause problems if the the remote and local shells don't agree on the way glob() pattern matching works. YMMV. 2. PuTTY 2.1 No fix is available yet 3. WinSCP 3.1. Upgrade to WinSCP 5.14 or later Similar or prior work --------------------- 1. https://www.jeffgeerling.com/blog/brief-history-ssh-and-remote-access Credits ------- The vulnerability was discovered by Harry Sintonen / F-Secure Corporation.

Software Description: - openssh: secure shell (SSH) for secure access to remote machines Details: USN-3885-1 fixed vulnerabilities in OpenSSH. It was discovered that the fix for CVE-2019-6111 turned out to be incomplete. This update fixes the problem. Original advisory details: Harry Sintonen discovered multiple issues in the OpenSSH scp utility. Update instructions: The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 18.10: openssh-client 1:7.7p1-4ubuntu0.3 Ubuntu 18.04 LTS: openssh-client 1:7.6p1-4ubuntu0.3 Ubuntu 16.04 LTS: openssh-client 1:7.2p2-4ubuntu2.8 Ubuntu 14.04 LTS: openssh-client 1:6.6p1-2ubuntu2.13 In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes. All the vulnerabilities are in found in the scp client implementing the SCP protocol. 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.
