EulerOS 2.0 SP3 : openssh (EulerOS-SA-2020-2112)

high Nessus Plugin ID 140879

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the openssh packages installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - The scp client in OpenSSH 8.2 incorrectly sends duplicate responses to the server upon a utimes system call failure, which allows a malicious unprivileged user on the remote server to overwrite arbitrary files in the client's download directory by creating a crafted subdirectory anywhere on the remote server. The victim must use the command scp -rp to download a file hierarchy containing, anywhere inside, this crafted subdirectory. NOTE: the vendor points out that 'this attack can achieve no more than a hostile peer is already able to achieve within the scp protocol' and 'utimes does not fail under normal circumstances.'(CVE-2020-12062)

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

Solution

Update the affected openssh package.
