Description

Path traversal in the sshd-scp component of Apache MINA SSHD. Apache MINA SSHD is a Java library for client-side and server-side SSH.

The implementation of receiving files or directories via SCP did not validate filenames in SCP "C" or "D" commands. A malicious sender could send filenames containing paths, resulting in files to be written in attacker-controlled places.

The issue affects only

  • applications that use no longer supported Apache MINA SSHD versions < 2.0.0 and use the SCP functions to receive files,
  • or applications using sshd-scp in Apache MINA SSHD >= 2.0.0 to receive files.

Applications using Apache MINA SSHD >= 2.0.0 not using sshd-scp are not affected.

The issue is fixed in Apache MINA 2.19.0 and 3.0.0-M5. Affected applications are advised to upgrade to these versions.

How this vulnerability can be exploited

This issue can be reached over the network, attack complexity is low, an attacker needs no privileges on the target. No user interaction is required. The scope is unchanged, so the impact stays within the vulnerable component. Rated impact: confidentiality none, integrity high, availability none.
