PuTTY is a popular SSH client, PSCP is a secure copy
|
||
|
implementation, and PSFTP is a SSH File Transfer Protocol client.

<description>
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
Two vulnerabilities have been discovered in the PSCP and PSFTP
|
||
|
clients, which can be triggered by the SFTP server itself. These issues
|
||
|
are caused by the improper handling of the FXP_READDIR response, along
|
||
|
with other string fields.

<impact type="normal">
|
||
|
<p>
|
||
|
An attacker can setup a malicious SFTP server that would send
|
||
|
these malformed responses to a client, potentially allowing the
|
||
|
execution of arbitrary code on their system.

<workaround>

<p>
|

There is no known workaround at this time.
