Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.1.10.2017.0452
Category:Mageia Linux Local Security Checks
Title:Mageia: Security Advisory (MGASA-2017-0452)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update for the 'rsync' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0452 advisory.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update for the 'rsync' package(s) announced via the MGASA-2017-0452 advisory.

Vulnerability Insight:
The recv_files function in receiver.c in the daemon in rsync 3.1.2, and
3.1.3-development before 2017-12-03, proceeds with certain file metadata
updates before checking for a filename in the daemon_filter_list data
structure, which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access
restrictions. (CVE-2017-17433)

The daemon in rsync 3.1.2, and 3.1.3-development before 2017-12-03, does
not check for fnamecmp filenames in the daemon_filter_list data
structure (in the recv_files function in receiver.c) and also does not
apply the sanitize_paths protection mechanism to pathnames found in
'xname follows' strings (in the read_ndx_and_attrs function in rsync.c),
which allows remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions.
(CVE-2017-17434)

Affected Software/OS:
'rsync' package(s) on Mageia 5, Mageia 6.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
