* CVE-2024-12087: fix path traversal vulnerability in rsync enabled by the
'--inc-recursive' option
* CVE-2024-12088: make --safe-links stricter
CVE(s):
CVE-2024-12087
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-2024-12088
A flaw was found in rsync. When using the `--safe-links` option, the rsync client fails to properly verify
if a symbolic link destination sent from the server contains another symbolic link within it. This results
in a path traversal vulnerability, which may lead to arbitrary file write outside the desired directory.
Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.
Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
