Detail

A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases:

Ubuntu 4.10 (Warty Warthog) Ubuntu 5.04 (Hoary Hedgehog) Ubuntu 5.10 (Breezy Badger)

The following packages are affected:

openssh-client

The problem can be corrected by upgrading the affected package to version 1:3.8.1p1-11ubuntu3.3 (for Ubuntu 4.10), 1:3.9p1-1ubuntu2.2 (for Ubuntu 5.04), or 1:4.1p1-7ubuntu4.1 (for Ubuntu 5.10). In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes.

Details follow:

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 '*'), 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.

Open Source Vulnerability Database (OSVDB)

Id Description
22692 OpenSSH scp Command Line Filename Processing Command Injection

OpenSSH contains a flaw that may allow an attacker to execute arbitrary commands. The flaw is due to the way OpenSSH's scp utility handles file names during local-to-local copies. During the file name expansion, the utility does not properly sanitize filenames allowing a crafted file name with shell meta-characters. This can be used to trick a user into executing arbitrary commands under with a different set of (potentially higher) privileges.
