GLSA-200802-06 : scponly: Multiple vulnerabilities

high Nessus Plugin ID 31084

Synopsis

The remote Gentoo host is missing one or more security-related patches.

Description

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200802-06 (scponly: Multiple vulnerabilities)

 Joachim Breitner reported that Subversion and rsync support invokes subcommands in an insecure manner (CVE-2007-6350). It has also been discovered that scponly does not filter the -o and -F options to the scp executable (CVE-2007-6415).
 Impact :

 A local attacker could exploit these vulnerabilities to elevate privileges and execute arbitrary commands on the vulnerable host.
 Workaround :

 There is no known workaround at this time.

Solution

All scponly users should upgrade to the latest version:
 # emerge --sync # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose '>=net-misc/scponly-4.8' Due to the design of scponly's Subversion support, security restrictions can still be circumvented. Please read carefully the SECURITY file included in the package.
