Slackware Linux 15.0 / current rsync Multiple Vulnerabilities (SSA:2025-014-01)

The version of rsync installed on the remote host is prior to 3.4.0. It is, therefore, affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the SSA:2025-014-01 advisory. New rsync packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to fix security issues. Tenable has extracted the preceding...

Rsync security vulnerabilities

Rsync is a fast and versatile file copying tool open-sourced by RsyncProject. It is used for remote files and local files. A security vulnerability exists in Rsync that stems from a failure to properly validate whether a symbolic link target contains another symbolic link, leading to a path...

Rsync buffer error vulnerability

Rsync is a fast and versatile file copying tool open-sourced by RsyncProject. It is used for remote files and local files. Rsync suffers from a buffer error vulnerability that stems from improper file checksum comparisons, which allows an attacker to manipulate the length of the checksum value an...

Rsync security vulnerabilities

Rsync is a fast and versatile file copying tool open-sourced by RsyncProject. It is used for remote files and local files. Rsync has a security vulnerability that stems from improper checksum comparisons, resulting in the server being able to enumerate the contents of arbitrary files on the clien...

Rsync security vulnerabilities

Rsync is a fast and versatile file copying tool open-sourced by RsyncProject. It is used for remote files and local files. A security vulnerability exists in Rsync versions prior to 3.4, which stems from the presence of a heap-based buffer overflow that allows an attacker to write out-of-bounds...

CVE-2024-12085: Use of Uninitialized Resource

A flaw was found in rsync which could be triggered when rsync compares file checksums. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the checksum length s2length to cause a comparison between a checksum and uninitialized memory and leak one byte of uninitialized stack data at a time...

CVE-2024-12086: Detection of Error Condition Without Action

A flaw was found in rsync. It could allow a server to enumerate the contents of an arbitrary file from the client's machine. This issue occurs when files are being copied from a client to a server. During this process, the rsync server will send checksums of local data to the client to compare wi...

CVE-2024-12088: Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory

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...

UBUNTU-CVE-2024-48943

A malicious RPKI rsync repository can prevent Fort from finishing its validation run by drip-feeding its content...

UBUNTU-CVE-2024-12084

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths s2length in the code. When MAXDIGESTLEN exceeds the fixed SUMLENGTH 16 bytes, an attacker can write out of bounds in the sum2 buffer...

UBUNTU-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...

UBUNTU-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...
