Category:	Slackware Local Security Checks
Title:	Slackware: Security Advisory (SSA:2004-285-01)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the 'rsync' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-285-01 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the 'rsync' package(s) announced via the SSA:2004-285-01 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: New rsync 2.6.3 packages are available for Slackware 8.1, 9.0, 9.1, 10.0, and -current to a fix security issue when rsync is run as a non-chrooted server. More details about this issue may be found in the Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures (CVE) database: [link moved to references] Here are the details from the Slackware 10.0 ChangeLog: +--------------------------+ patches/packages/rsync-2.6.3-i486-1.tgz: Upgraded to rsync-2.6.3. From the rsync NEWS file: A bug in the sanitize_path routine (which affects a non-chrooted rsync daemon) could allow a user to craft a pathname that would get transformed into an absolute path for certain options (but not for file-transfer names). If you're running an rsync daemon with chroot disabled, *please upgrade*, ESPECIALLY if the user privs you run rsync under is anything above 'nobody'. Note that rsync, in daemon mode, sets the 'use chroot' to true by default, and (in this default mode) is not vulnerable to this issue. I would strongly recommend against setting 'use chroot' to false even if you've upgraded to this new package. (* Security fix *) +--------------------------+ Affected Software/OS: 'rsync' package(s) on Slackware 8.1, Slackware 9.0, Slackware 9.1, Slackware 10.0, Slackware current. Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 6.4 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:N
