Description:
William F. McCaw has discovered a weakness in rssh, which can be exploited by malicious users to bypass certain security restrictions.
The problem is that it is possible to gain knowledge of files in directories outside a chroot jail.
Example, which reveals files in the "/etc" directory:
scp [victim]:/etc/*
Successful exploitation requires that a malicious user has read/execute permissions on a directory in order to gain knowledge of files in it.
