Debian DSA-4382-1 : rssh - security update

critical Nessus Plugin ID 121560

Language:

Synopsis

The remote Debian host is missing a security-related update.

Description

Nick Cleaton discovered two vulnerabilities in rssh, a restricted shell that allows users to perform only scp, sftp, cvs, svnserve (Subversion), rdist and/or rsync operations. Missing validation in the rsync support could result in the bypass of this restriction, allowing the execution of arbitrary shell commands.

Solution

Upgrade the rssh packages.

For the stable distribution (stretch), these problems have been fixed in version 2.3.4-5+deb9u2.
