release date: 2020-06-08ChangelogCopssh version 7.3.0 installers come with OpenSSH 8.3p and LibreSSL 3.1.2. (Due to version bump-up from LibreSSL 3.0.2 at our side, you may also be interested in release notes for 3.1.1 and 3.1.0 as well). Security ======== * scp(1): when receiving files, scp(1) could be become desynchronised if a utimes(2) system call failed. This could allow file contents to be interpreted as file metadata and thereby permit an adversary to craft a file system that, when copied with scp(1) in a configuration that caused utimes(2) to fail (e.g. under a SELinux policy or syscall sandbox), transferred different file names and contents to the actual file system layout. Exploitation of this is not likely as utimes(2) does not fail under normal circumstances. Successful exploitation is not silent - the output of scp(1) would show transfer errors followed by the actual file(s) that were received. Finally, filenames returned from the peer are (since openssh-8.0) matched against the user's requested destination, thereby disallowing a successful exploit from writing files outside the user's selected target glob (or directory, in the case of a recursive transfer). This ensures that this attack can achieve no more than a hostile peer is already able to achieve within the scp protocol 2020
