Public Date:: 2007-11-28

Bugzilla:: 407161: CVE-2007-6199 When rsync is run w/o chroot, symlinks that point outside daemon's root can be created

The MITRE CVE dictionary describes this issue as:

rsync before 3.0.0pre6, when running a writable rsync daemon that is not using chroot, allows remote attackers to access restricted files via unknown vectors that cause rsync to create a symlink that points outside of the module's hierarchy.

Find out more about CVE-2007-6199 from the MITRE CVE dictionary dictionary and NIST NVD.

Statement

Red Hat does not consider this to be a security issue. Versions of rsync as shipped with Red Hat Enterprise Linux 2.1, 3, 4 and 5 behave as expected and that behavior was well documented.
