{"id":"UBUNTU-CVE-2019-7283","details":"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.","modified":"2025-10-24T04:47:29Z","published":"2019-01-31T18:29:00Z","upstream":["CVE-2019-7283"],"references":[{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://ubuntu.com/security/CVE-2019-7283"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugs.debian.org/920486"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://sintonen.fi/advisories/scp-client-multiple-vulnerabilities.txt"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://www.cve.org/CVERecord?id=CVE-2019-7283"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"netkit-rsh","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:16.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netkit-rsh@0.17-15?arch=source&distro=xenial"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.17-15"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"rsh-client","binary_version":"0.17-15"},{"binary_name":"rsh-server","binary_version":"0.17-15"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-7283.json"}},{"package":{"name":"netkit-rsh","ecosystem":"Ubuntu:18.04:LTS","purl":"pkg:deb/ubuntu/netkit-rsh@0.17-17ubuntu0.1?arch=source&distro=bionic"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["0.17-17","0.17-17ubuntu0.1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"binaries":[{"binary_name":"rsh-client","binary_version":"0.17-17ubuntu0.1"},{"binary_name":"rsh-server","binary_version":"0.17-17ubuntu0.1"}]},"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/canonical/ubuntu-security-notices/blob/main/osv/cve/2019/UBUNTU-CVE-2019-7283.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.3","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:N/UI:N/S:U/C:N/I:H/A:H"},{"type":"Ubuntu","score":"medium"}]}
