"The Linux/Unix host has one or more packages installed that are impacted by a vulnerability without a vendor supplied
patch available.
- 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 relies on the presence of the package as reported by the vendor.");
