Upstream addressed it by replacing the program's path handling wholesale in a later release and re-pointing every call site at it; importing that would rewrite every file-creation path in the sending and receiving code, the highest-risk area of the program. The flaw needs a local attacker to race a parent directory into a symlink between the file list being built and the directory being read, or a symlinked directory inside a module while symlink-following is requested. A higher-privileged sender then lists a directory outside the tree and copies its entry names and metadata. To stay safe, keep the daemon chroot option on — it is the default — and refuse the copy-links, copy-dirlinks and copy-unsafe-links options.", "product_ids": [ "Debian-10:rsync-0:3.1.3-6+tuxcare.els1.amd64", "Debian-10:rsync-0:3.1.3-6+tuxcare.els2.amd64", "Debian-10:rsync-0:3.1.3-6+tuxcare.els3.amd64", "Debian-10:rsync-0:3.1.3-6+tuxcare.els4.amd64", "Debian-10:rsync-0:3.1.3-6.amd64" ] } ] } ] }
