NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rush package and not the rush package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:9 relevant fixed versions and status.

GNU Rush 1.7 does not properly drop privileges, which allows local users to read arbitrary files via the --lint option.
