- CVEs with nessus.description==Updated rsh packages that fix a theoretical security issue are now available.
This update has been rated as having low security impact by the Red Hat Security Response Team
The rsh package contains a set of programs that allow users to run commands on remote machines, login to other machines, and copy files between machines, using the rsh, rlogin, and rcp commands. All three of these commands use rhosts-style authentication.
The rcp protocol allows a server to instruct a client to write to arbitrary files outside of the current directory. This could potentially cause a security issue if a user uses rcp to copy files from a malicious server. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CVE-2004-0175 to this issue.
All users of rsh should upgrade to these updated packages, which resolve these issues.
