<title>scponly: Multiple privilege escalation issues</title>
<synopsis>
Local users can exploit an scponly flaw to gain root privileges, and
scponly restricted users can use another vulnerability to evade shell
restrictions.

<background>
<p>
scponly is a restricted shell, allowing only a few predefined commands.
It is often used as a complement to OpenSSH to provide access to remote
users without providing any remote execution privileges.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
Max Vozeler discovered that the scponlyc command allows users to chroot
into arbitrary directories. Furthermore, Pekka Pessi reported that
scponly insufficiently validates command-line parameters to a scp or
rsync command.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
A local attacker could gain root privileges by chrooting into arbitrary
directories containing hardlinks to setuid programs. A remote scponly
user could also send malicious parameters to a scp or rsync command
that would allow to escape the shell restrictions and execute arbitrary
programs.
</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 &quot;&gt;=net-misc/scponly-4.2&quot;</code>
</resolution>
