USN-7206-1: rsync vulnerabilities

Read Time:52 Second

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync
did not properly handle checksum lengths. An attacker could use this
issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-12084)

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync
compared checksums with uninitialized memory. An attacker could exploit
this issue to leak sensitive information. (CVE-2024-12085)

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync
incorrectly handled file checksums. A malicious server could use this
to expose arbitrary client files. (CVE-2024-12086)

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync
mishandled symlinks for some settings. An attacker could exploit this
to write files outside the intended directory. (CVE-2024-12087)

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync
failed to verify symbolic link destinations for some settings. An
attacker could exploit this for path traversal attacks. (CVE-2024-12088)

Aleksei Gorban discovered a race condition in rsync’s handling of
symbolic links. An attacker could use this to access sensitive
information or escalate privileges. (CVE-2024-12747)

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Fortinet Products Could Allow for Remote Code Execution

Read Time:46 Second

Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered Fortinet Products, the most severe of which could allow for remote code execution. FortiManager is a network and security management tool that provides centralized management of Fortinet devices from a single console. FortiOS is the Fortinet’s proprietary Operation System which is utilized across multiple product lines. FortiProxy is a secure web gateway that attempts to protects users against internet-borne attacks, and provides protection and visibility to the network against unauthorized access and threats. Successful exploitation of this vulnerability could allow for remote code execution in the context of the affected service account. Depending on the privileges associated with the service account an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data; or create new accounts with full user rights. Service accounts that are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.

Multiple Vulnerabilities in Ivanti Avalanche Could Allow for Authentication Bypass

Read Time:32 Second

Multiple Vulnerabilities have been discovered in Ivanti Avalanche, the most severe of which could allow for authentication bypass. Ivanti Avalanche is a mobile device management system. Network security features allow one to manage wireless settings (including encryption and authentication) and apply those settings on a schedule throughout the network. Successful exploitation could allow for a remote unauthenticated attacker to bypass authentication. Depending on the privileges associated with the logged-on user, an attacker could then install programs; view, change, or delete data. Users whose accounts are configured to have fewer user rights on the system could be less impacted than those who operate with administrative user rights.
