Insufficient sanitation of environment variables passed to rsync can bypass the restrictions imposed by rssh, a restricted shell that should restrict users to perform only rsync operations, resulting in the execution of arbitrary shell commands. (CVE-2019-3464)

Insufficient sanitation of arguments passed to rsync can bypass the restrictions imposed by rssh, a restricted shell that should restrict users to perform only rsync operations, resulting in the execution of arbitrary shell commands. (CVE-2019-3463)

rssh version 2.3.4 contains a CWE-77: Improper Neutralization of Special Elements used in a Command ('Command Injection') vulnerability in 'allowscp' permission that can result in Local command execution.
This attack appear to be exploitable via An authorized SSH user with the 'allowscp' permission. (CVE-2019-1000018)

The remote Ubuntu 14.04 LTS / 16.04 LTS / 18.04 LTS host has a package installed that is affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the USN-3946-1 advisory.

    It was discovered that rssh incorrectly handled certain command-line arguments and environment variables.
    An authenticated user could bypass rssh's command restrictions, allowing an attacker to run arbitrary     commands.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the Ubuntu security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

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.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-202007-29 (rssh: Multiple vulnerabilities)
