just a final note on this, sshuttle from trusty is still affected by
this, and since focal does not install the 'net-tools' package (which
provides netstat) by default, sshuttle from trusty to a default install
of focal will fail.
** Description changed:
[impact]
the remote system sshuttle connects to must have netstat installed, or
sshuttle fails
[test case]
from a xenial system, install sshuttle and attempt to create a sshuttle
connection to a remote system that does not have netstat installed
[regression potential]
any regression would likely result in a failure to successfully
create/initialize the sshuttle connection. it is unlikely any regression
would cause problems after the tunnel is established.
[scope]
this is needed only for xenial.
this is fixed upstream with commit
809fad537fa6977da3e3915f5a125e2a3d163254 which is included in v0.78.3
and later, so this is already fixed in bionic and later.
+
+ note this bug does affect sshuttle in trusty, but that release is out of
+ standard support and into ESM only, so will not be patched (unless the
+ security team wishes to patch it in the ESM repository).
** Also affects: sshuttle (Ubuntu Trusty)
Importance: Undecided
Status: New
** Changed in: sshuttle (Ubuntu Trusty)
Status: New => Won't Fix
