Description
Openwall oss-security reports: We have discovered a critical arbitrary file write vulnerability in the rsync utility that allows malicious remote servers to write arbitrary files inside the directories of connecting peers. The server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. Due to the insufficient controls inside the do_server_recv function a malicious rysnc server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory and subdirectories.
