Security Bulletin
This security bulletin contains information about 2 vulnerabilities.
1) OS Command Injection
EUVDB-ID: #VU116882
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 0.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2025-61984
CWE-ID:
CWE-78 - Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in an OS Command ('OS Command Injection')
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary shell commands on the target system.
The vulnerability exists due to improper validation of control characters in usernames obtained from an untrusted source (such as command line and %-sequence expansion of a configuration file). A remote attacker can trick the victim into initiating an ssh connection using a specially crafted configuration file and execute arbitrary shell commands on the system.
This vulnerability affects ssh client command and does not affect the sshd daemon.
MitigationUpdate the affected package openssh to the latest version.

2) Improper Neutralization of Null Byte or NUL Character
EUVDB-ID: #VU116883
Risk: Low
CVSSv4.0: 0.2 [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:L/VI:L/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]
CVE-ID: CVE-2025-61985
CWE-ID:
CWE-158 - Improper Neutralization of Null Byte or NUL Character
Exploit availability: No
DescriptionThe vulnerability allows a remote attacker to execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.
The vulnerability exists due to incorrect handling of the nullbyte character in an ssh:// URI if a ProxyCommand that uses the %r expansion was configured. A remote attacker can trick the victim into using a specially crafted ssh command to connect to a remote server and execute arbitrary OS commands on the system.
This vulnerability affects ssh client command and does not affect the sshd daemon.
MitigationUpdate the affected package openssh to the latest version.
