Subject: OpenSSH sftp remote code execution in chroot mode in VERY RARE cases
Hello list,
This sounds worse, but it is not. And it is public anyway, so FYI:
With internal-sftp and chroot, sftp still attempts to execute
code from /etc/ssh/sshrc. See [0] for more information on testing
the issue. It will only affect you when using a writable chroot
(which is already documented in man-pages to be insecure) but
also some strange configuration settings, e.g. when using
ChrootDirectory /home
as recommended in [1] and having a user named "etc" and "bin"
created.
When creating a user "proc" that way, another issue prohibits
closing of inherited file descriptors, that then again may leak
to the two other users.
