SUSE-SA:2004:026: rsync |
||
|
Check for the version of the rsync package Detailed Explanation for this Vulnerability Assessment The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory SUSE-SA:2004:026 (rsync). The rsync-team released an advisory about a security problem in rsync. If rsync is running in daemon-mode and without a chroot environment it is possible for a remote attacker to trick rsyncd into creating an absolute pathname while sanitizing it. As a result it is possible to read/write from/to files outside the rsync directory. NOTE: SUSE LINUX ships the rsync daemon with a chroot environment enabled by default, therefore the default setup is not vulnerable.
