Title:	Huawei EulerOS: Security Advisory for rsync (EulerOS-SA-2025-1283)
Summary:	The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'rsync' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2025-1283 advisory.
Description:	Summary: The remote host is missing an update for the Huawei EulerOS 'rsync' package(s) announced via the EulerOS-SA-2025-1283 advisory. Vulnerability Insight: A path traversal vulnerability exists in rsync. It stems from behavior enabled by the `--inc-recursive` option, a default-enabled option for many client options and can be enabled by the server even if not explicitly enabled by the client. When using the `--inc-recursive` option, a lack of proper symlink verification coupled with deduplication checks occurring on a per-file-list basis could allow a server to write files outside of the client's intended destination directory. A malicious server could write malicious files to arbitrary locations named after valid directories/paths on the client.(CVE-2024-12087) A flaw was found in rsync which could be triggered when rsync compares file checksums. This flaw allows an attacker to manipulate the checksum length (s2length) to cause a comparison between a checksum and uninitialized memory and leak one byte of uninitialized stack data at a time.(CVE-2024-12085) A flaw was found in rsync. This vulnerability arises from a race condition during rsync's handling of symbolic links. Rsync's default behavior when encountering symbolic links is to skip them. If an attacker replaced a regular file with a symbolic link at the right time, it was possible to bypass the default behavior and traverse symbolic links. Depending on the privileges of the rsync process, an attacker could leak sensitive information, potentially leading to privilege escalation.(CVE-2024-12747) Affected Software/OS: 'rsync' package(s) on Huawei EulerOS V2.0SP9(x86_64). Solution: Please install the updated package(s). CVSS Score: 7.8 CVSS Vector: AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:C/I:N/A:N
