[guru] [dercorny@gentoo.org: [ GLSA 200512-15 ] rssh: Privilege escalation]
DATE: Wed, 28 Dec 2005 23:57:41 +0100
Az rssh csomag egy restricted shell kiegészítő, amit általában az OpenSSH
valamint az sftp programokkal használnak. A program rssh_chroot_helper
parancsa lehetővé teszi, hogy tetszőleges könyvtárba chroot-oljon. Gentoo
kijött a csomag javításával.

privileges by chrooting into arbitrary directories.
Workaround
