SUSE-SA:2004:026: rsync
Description
The rsync-team released an advisory about a security problem in rsync. If rsync is running in daemon-mode and without a chroot environment it is possible for a remote attacker to trick rsyncd into creating an absolute pathname while sanitizing it. As a result it is possible to read/write from/to files outside the rsync directory.
SUSE Linux ships the rsync daemon with a chroot environment enabled by default, therefore the default setup is not vulnerable.
