CVE-2019-7282  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:10 netkit-rsh to version 0.17-20 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream netkit-rsh package and not the netkit-rsh package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:10 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
