    Package        : rsync     CVE ID         : CVE-2024-12084 CVE-2024-12085 CVE-2024-12086 CVE-2024-12087                      CVE-2024-12088 CVE-2024-12747

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in rsync, a fast, versatile,     remote (and local) file-copying tool.

    CVE-2024-12084

        Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman discovered a         heap-based buffer overflow vulnerability due to improper handling of         attacker-controlled checksum lengths. A remote attacker can take         advantage of this flaw for code execution.

    CVE-2024-12085

        Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman reported a flaw in         the way rsync compares file checksums, allowing a remote attacker to         trigger an information leak.

    CVE-2024-12086

        Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman discovered a flaw         which would result in a server leaking contents of an arbitrary file         from the client's machine.

    CVE-2024-12087

        Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman reported a path         traversal vulnerability in the rsync daemon affecting the
        --inc-recursive option, which could allow a server to write files         outside of the client's intended destination directory.

    CVE-2024-12088

        Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos and Jasiel Spelman reported that when         using the --safe-links option, rsync fails to properly verify if a         symbolic link destination contains another symbolic link with it,         resulting in path traversal and arbitrary file write outside of the         desired directory.

    CVE-2024-12747

        Aleksei Gorban loqpa discovered a race condition when handling         symbolic links resulting in an information leak which may enable         escalation of privileges.

    For the stable distribution (bookworm), these problems have been fixed in     version 3.2.7-1+deb12u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your rsync packages.
