  <title>rssh, scponly: Unrestricted command execution</title>
  <synopsis>
    rssh and scponly do not filter command-line options that can be exploited
    to execute any command, thereby allowing a remote user to completely bypass
    the restricted shell.

    <p>
    rssh and scponly are two restricted shells, allowing only a few
    predefined commands. They are often used as a complement to OpenSSH to
    provide access to remote users without providing any remote execution
    privileges.

    <p>
    Jason Wies discovered that when receiving an authorized command from an
    authorized user, rssh and scponly do not filter command-line options
    that can be used to execute any command on the target host.
    </p>
  </description>
  <impact type="normal">
    <p>
    Using a malicious command, it is possible for a remote authenticated
    user to execute any command (or upload and execute any file) on the
    target machine with user rights, effectively bypassing any restriction
    of scponly or rssh.
    </p>
  </impact>
  <workaround>
    <p>
    There is no known workaround at this time.
    </p>
  </workaround>
  <resolution>
    <p>
    All scponly users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/scponly-4.0"</code>
    <p>
    All rssh users should upgrade to the latest version:
    </p>
    <code>
    # emerge --sync
    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=app-shells/rssh/rssh-2.2.3"</code>
  </resolution>
