    descriptionThe remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200512-17 (scponly: Multiple privilege escalation issues) Max Vozeler discovered that the scponlyc command allows users to chroot into arbitrary directories. Furthermore, Pekka Pessi reported that scponly insufficiently validates command-line parameters to a scp or rsync command. Impact : A local attacker could gain root privileges by chrooting into arbitrary directories containing hardlinks to setuid programs. A remote scponly user could also send malicious parameters to a scp or rsync command that would allow to escape the shell restrictions and execute arbitrary programs. Workaround : There is no known workaround at this time.
