DESCRIPTION:
Debian has issued an update for rssh. This fixes two vulnerabilities,
which can be exploited by malicious, local users to bypass certain
security restrictions.

For more information:

1) The vulnerability is caused due the application not validating
command line options and can be exploited to bypass the allowed
commands filter checks resulting in reduced shell restrictions via
the "-e" option.

SOLUTION:
Apply updated packages via the apt-get package manager.

PROVIDED AND/OR DISCOVERED BY:
1) James Clawson in a bug report.
