CVE-2019-7283  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

There is no fixed version for RHEL:6 rsh.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsh package and not the rsh package as distributed by RHEL. See How to fix? for RHEL:6 relevant fixed versions and status.

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.
