Updated OpenSSH packages has been released for Debian GNU/Linux 7 Extended LTS

Package: openssh
Version: 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u11
Related CVE: CVE-2018-20685 CVE-2019-6109 CVE-2019-6111
Harry Sintonen from F-Secure Corporation discovered multiple vulnerabilities in OpenSSH, an implementation of the SSH protocol suite. All the vulnerabilities are found in the scp client implementing the SCP protocol.

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
the 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 a regression if the client and
the server behave differently 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 Debian 7 Wheezy, these problems have been fixed in version 1:6.0p1-4+deb7u11.

We recommend that you upgrade your openssh packages.
