Created:November 28, 2012 Updated:November 28, 2012
Description: From the Debian advisory:

James Clawson discovered that rssh, a restricted shell for OpenSSH to be used with scp/sftp, rdist and cvs, was not correctly filtering command line options. This could be used to force the execution of a remote script and thus allow arbitrary command execution.
