Subject: [PATCH] Fix CVE-2017-12836
MIME-Version: 1.0
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=UTF-8
Content-Transfer-Encoding: 8bit
The hostname passed to RSH (ssh) client could be interpreted by
OpenSSH client as an option and lead to local command execution.
This fix adds no-more-options "--" separator before the hostname
argument to the RSH client command.
Original patch by Thorsten Glaser <tg@mirbsd.de> from
<https://bugs.debian.org/cgi-bin/bugreport.cgi?bug=871810> ported to
1.11.23.
Signed-off-by: Petr Písař <ppisar@redhat.com>
