CVE Catalog

CVE-2006-1320

High
Published: Translated: NVD NIST

Summary

In rssh 2.3.0 on Debian GNU/Linux, the util.c file lacks braces to form a code block, causing the CVS check to always succeed. This allows rsync and rdist to bypass intended access restrictions defined in rssh.conf.

Risk Assessment

The organization may lose control over SSH shell access restrictions, allowing unauthorized users to transfer files via rsync and rdist, potentially leading to data leakage or unauthorized system access.

Recommendation

Immediately upgrade the rssh package to version 2.3.1 or later, which includes a fix for this vulnerability. If an upgrade is not possible, temporarily disable rsync and rdist support in the rssh configuration.
