Category:	Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:	Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0196)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5-appl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0196 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'krb5-appl' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0196 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: An issue was discovered in rcp in MIT krb5-appl through 1.0.3. Due to the rcp implementation being derived from 1983 rcp, the server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. However, the rcp client only performs cursory validation of the object name returned (only directory traversal attacks are prevented). A malicious rcp server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the rcp client target directory. If recursive operation (-r) is performed, the server can manipulate subdirectories as well (for example, to overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file). This issue is similar to CVE-2019-6111 and CVE-2019-7283 (CVE-2019-25017). In the rcp client in MIT krb5-appl through 1.0.3 malicious servers could bypass intended access restrictions via the filename of . or an empty filename, similar to CVE-2018-20685 and CVE-2019-7282. The impact is modifying the permissions of the target directory on the client side (CVE-2019-25018). Affected Software/OS: 'krb5-appl' package(s) on Mageia 7, Mageia 8. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 5.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:M/Au:N/C:N/I:P/A:P
