CVE-2007-6199

Publication date 1 December 2007

Last updated 24 July 2024

Ubuntu priority

Low

Why this priority?

rsync before 3.0.0pre6, when running a writable rsync daemon that is not using chroot, allows remote attackers to access restricted files via unknown vectors that cause rsync to create a symlink that points outside of the module's hierarchy.

Notes

jdstrand

lowering priority as it is only for rsyncd while not running in chroot. This is a not-recommended, non-standard configuration. Above patch adds a configuration option to make this configuration 'safer'.
