Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.

1) OS Command Injection

EUVDB-ID: #VU84789

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: 6.6 [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:H/VA:H/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:P/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2023-51385

CWE-ID: CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')

Exploit availability: Yes

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.

The vulnerability exists due to improper input validation when processing user names, if a user name or host name has shell metacharacters, and this name is referenced by an expansion token in certain situations. A remote attacker can execute arbitrary OS commands via an untrusted Git repository.

Mitigation

Update the affected package openssh to the latest version.
