Descriptions
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.
Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync did not properly handle checksum lengths. An attacker could use this issue to execute arbitrary code. Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync compared checksums with uninitialized memory. An attacker could exploit this issue to leak sensitive information. Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync incorrectly handled file checksums. A malicious server could use this to expose arbitrary client files.
