"The version of rsync installed on the remote Azure Linux 3.0 host is prior to tested version. It is, therefore, affected
by a vulnerability as referenced in the CVE-2024-12087 advisory.
- A path traversal vulnerability exists in rsync. It stems from behavior enabled by the `--inc-recursive`
option, a default-enabled option for many client options and can be enabled by the server even if not
explicitly enabled by the client. When using the `--inc-recursive` option, a lack of proper symlink
verification coupled with deduplication checks occurring on a per-file-list basis could allow a server to
write files outside of the client's intended destination directory. A malicious server could write
malicious files to arbitrary locations named after valid directories/paths on the client. (CVE-2024-12087)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
