Reflection for Secure IT Server Security Vulnerability Update
A security vulnerability, which affects Reflection for Secure IT UNIX Server version 6.x, has been fixed in Reflection for Secure IT UNIX Server version 6.0.0.9.
This build fixes a format string vulnerability in sftp server logging. Without this fix, a remote attacker may be able to execute arbitrary code via the user's privileges if they can persuade an authenticated SSH user to stat a specially-crafted file. A malicious authenticated user could also launch a denial-of-service attack against the SSH server.
For more information, please see Technical Note 1882.
Features Introduced in Version 6.0
The following features were added in Reflection for Secure IT UNIX Client version 6.0.
