Hi people, I've just released DSA 2578-1 which affects rssh after coordination on the distro list and I'm now posting to oss-sec per policy.
Package : rssh
Vulnerability : incorrect filtering of command line options
Problem type : remote
CVE ID : CVE-2012-2251 CVE-2012-2252
James Clawson discovered that rssh, a restricted shell for OpenSSH to be used
with scp/sftp, rdist and cvs, was not correctly filtering command line options.
This could be used to force the execution of a remote script and thus allow
arbitrary command execution. Two CVE were assigned:
CVE-2012-2251
Incorrect filtering of command line when using rsync protocol. It was
for example possible to pass dangerous options after a "--" switch. The
rsync
protocol support has been added in a Debian (and Fedora/Red Hat)
specific
patch, so this vulnerability doesn't affect upstream.
CVE-2012-2251
Incorrect filtering of the "--rsh" option: the filter preventing usage
of the
"--rsh=" option would not prevent passing "--rsh". This vulnerability
affects
upstream code.
