Description

OpenSSH software included with PAN-OS has been upgraded to resolve multiple
vulnerabilities.

These issue affects Palo Alto Networks PAN-OS 7.1 versions before 7.1.26; 8.0
versions before 8.0.21; 8.1 versions before 8.1.13; 9.0 versions before 9.0.7.

The resolved vulnerabilities include:

     CVE          CVSS                           Summary
               5.3 (       In OpenSSH 7.9, scp.c in the scp client allows
               CVSS:3.0/   remote SSH servers to bypass intended access
CVE-2018-20685 AV:N/AC:H/  restrictions via the filename of . or an empty
               PR:N/UI:R/  filename. The impact is modifying the permissions of
               S:U/C:N/I:H the target directory on the client side.
               /A:N)
               6.8 (       An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to
               CVSS:3.0/   missing character encoding in the progress display,
               AV:N/AC:H/  a malicious server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker)
CVE-2019-6109  PR:N/UI:R/  can employ crafted object names to manipulate the
               S:U/C:H/I:H client output, e.g., by using ANSI control codes to
               /A:N)       hide additional files being transferred. This
                           affects refresh_progress_meter() in progressmeter.c.
                           An issue was discovered in OpenSSH 7.9. Due to the
                           scp implementation being derived from 1983 rcp, the
                           server chooses which files/directories are sent to
               5.9 (       the client. However, the scp client only performs
               CVSS:3.0/   cursory validation of the object name returned (only
CVE-2019-6111  AV:N/AC:H/  directory traversal attacks are prevented). A
               PR:N/UI:N/  malicious scp server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker)
               S:U/C:N/I:H can overwrite arbitrary files in the scp client
               /A:N)       target directory. If recursive operation (-r) is
                           performed, the server can manipulate subdirectories
                           as well (for example, to overwrite the .ssh/
                           authorized_keys file).
