Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2021.0525
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2021-0525)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'rsh' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0525 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'rsh' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2021-0525 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
In NetKit through 0.17, rcp.c in the rcp client allows remote rsh servers
to bypass intended access restrictions via the filename of . or an empty
filename. The impact is modifying the permissions of the target directory
on the client side. This is similar to CVE-2018-20685. (CVE-2019-7282)

An issue was discovered in rcp in NetKit through 0.17. For an rcp
operation, the server chooses which files/directories are sent to the
client. However, the rcp client only performs cursory validation of the
object name returned. A malicious rsh server (or Man-in-The-Middle
attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in a directory on the rcp client
machine. This is similar to CVE-2019-6111. (CVE-2019-7283).

Affected Software/OS:
'rsh' package(s) on Mageia 8.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
5.8
