"The CentOS Linux 7 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the TuxCare
CENTOS7:CLSA-2025:1739388237 advisory.
- A flaw was found in rsync. This vulnerability arises from a race condition during rsync's handling of
symbolic links. Rsync's default behavior when encountering symbolic links is to skip them. If an attacker
replaced a regular file with a symbolic link at the right time, it was possible to bypass the default
behavior and traverse symbolic links. Depending on the privileges of the rsync process, an attacker could
leak sensitive information, potentially leading to privilege escalation. (CVE-2024-12747)
Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version
number.");
