Security: allwinpower/sshuttle2

SECURITY.md

Security policy

Supported versions

Only the latest release gets security fixes. Older releases do not.

Reporting a vulnerability

Report security problems privately, not in a public issue:

  1. Open the repository's Security tab.
  2. Click "Report a vulnerability" (direct link).

Include:

  • the sshuttle2 version (sshuttle2 --version)
  • the client and server operating systems
  • the method (tun, pf, nft or SOCKS5) and the exact command
  • steps to reproduce, and what an attacker gains

The report stays private between you and the maintainers until a fixed release is out. The advisory is published with that release and credits you, unless you ask not to be named.

Scope

Examples of what counts:

  • Another local user or process using the privileged helper, which runs as root through sudo.
  • Traffic that should go through the tunnel going around it.
  • The server side making the client do more than carry traffic.
  • Another user on the server replacing the cached server binary in ~/.cache/sshuttle2/.

Problems in OpenSSH itself go to the OpenSSH project.
