Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.52893
Category:Turbolinux Local Security Tests
Title:Turbolinux TLSA-2004-20 (rsync)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing an update to rsync
announced via advisory TLSA-2004-20.

rsync uses the rsync algorithm which provides a very fast method for bringing
remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in files
across a link, without requiring that both sets of files be present at one of
the ends of the beforehand.
A vulnerability has been discovered in rsync in the sanitize_path function
in file util.c which allows attackers to read and/or write certain files when chroot is disabled.

The remote attackers may be able to read and write the file which cannot be read and write.

Solution: Please use the turbopkg (zabom) tool to apply the update.
