The ESnet security team discovered a vulnerability 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 scp support could result in the bypass of this restriction, allowing the execution of arbitrary shell commands.

Please note that with the update applied, the ‘-3’ option of scp can no longer be used.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, this problem has been fixed in version 2.3.4-4+deb8u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your rssh packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
