DSA-5843-1 rsync – security update

Read Time:1 Minute, 9 Second

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in rsync, a fast, versatile,
remote (and local) file-copying tool.

CVE-2024-12084

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman discovered a
heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability due to improper handling of
attacker-controlled checksum lengths. A remote attacker can take
advantage of this flaw for code execution.

CVE-2024-12085

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman reported a flaw in
the way rsync compares file checksums, allowing a remote attacker to
trigger an information leak.

CVE-2024-12086

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman discovered a flaw
which would result in a server leaking contents of an arbitrary file
from the client’s machine.

CVE-2024-12087

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman reported a path
traversal vulnerability in the rsync daemon affecting the
–inc-recursive option, which could allow a server to write files
outside of the client’s intended destination directory.

CVE-2024-12088

Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman reported that when
using the –safe-links option, rsync fails to properly verify if a
symbolic link destination contains another symbolic link with it,
resulting in path traversal and arbitrary file write outside of the
desired directory.

CVE-2024-12747

Aleksei Gorban “loqpa” discovered a race condition when handling
symbolic links resulting in an information leak which may enable
escalation of privileges.
