Security Advisory Description
In OpenSSH 7.9, due to accepting and displaying arbitrary stderr output from
the server, a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can manipulate
the client output, for example to use ANSI control codes to hide additional
files being transferred. (CVE-2019-6110)
Impact
Acceptance and display of arbitrary stderr allows for spoofing of OpenSSH SCP
client output.
For products with None in the Versions known to be vulnerable column, there is
no impact.
For products with ** in the various columns, F5 is still researching the issue
and will update this article after confirming the required information. F5
Technical Support has no additional information about this issue.
Security Advisory Status
F5 Product Development has assigned ID 757604 (BIG-IP), ID 757604-8 (BIG-IQ),
CPF-25054 and CPF-25055 (Traffix) to this vulnerability.

possible that the document may be removed without our knowledge.
**Confirmation of vulnerability or non-vulnerability is not presently
available. F5 is still researching the issue for the products indicated and
will update this article with the most current information as soon as it has
been confirmed. F5 Technical Support has no additional information on this
issue.
Security Advisory Recommended Actions
If you are running a version listed in the Versions known to be vulnerable
column, you can eliminate this vulnerability by upgrading to a version listed
in the Fixes introduced in column. If the table lists only an older version
than what you are currently running, or does not list a non-vulnerable version,
then no upgrade candidate currently exists.
Mitigation
There is no mitigation for a man-in-the-middle attack.
You can mitigate the vulnerability from a malicious server by verifying the
host key fingerprint when connecting to systems with the SCP client.
