[debian-lts-announce] 20171222 [SECURITY] [DLA 1218-1] rsync security update

DSA-4068

According to the version of the rsync package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

  - 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)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

An update of the rsync package has been released.

According to the versions of the rsync package installed, the EulerOS Virtualization installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerabilities :

  - 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)

  - The parse_arguments function in options.c in rsyncd in     rsync before 3.1.3 does not prevent multiple
    --protect-args uses, which allows remote attackers to     bypass an argument-sanitization protection     mechanism.(CVE-2018-5764)

An update of 'rsync', 'linux' packages of Photon OS has been released.

An update of {'glibc', 'linux', 'rsync', 'curl'} packages of Photon OS has been released.

This update for rsync fixes several issues. These security issues were fixed :

  - CVE-2017-17434: The daemon in rsync did not check for     fnamecmp filenames in the daemon_filter_list data     structure (in the recv_files function in receiver.c) and     also did 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     allowed remote attackers to bypass intended access     restrictions' (bsc#1071460).

  - CVE-2017-17433: The recv_files function in receiver.c in     the daemon in rsync, proceeded with certain file     metadata updates before checking for a filename in the     daemon_filter_list data structure, which allowed remote     attackers to bypass intended access restrictions     (bsc#1071459).

  - CVE-2017-16548: The receive_xattr function in xattrs.c     in rsync did not check for a trailing '\\0' character in     an xattr name, which allowed remote attackers to cause a     denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and     application crash) or possibly have unspecified other     impact by sending crafted data to the daemon     (bsc#1066644).

The update package also includes non-security fixes. See advisory for details.

The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-201801-16 (rsync: Multiple vulnerabilities)

    Multiple vulnerabilities have been discovered in rsync. Please review       the CVE identifiers referenced below for details.
  Impact :

    A remote attacker could bypass intended access restrictions or cause a       Denial of Service condition.
  Workaround :

    There is no known workaround at this time.

This update for rsync fixes the several issues.

  - CVE-2014-9512: Prevent attackers to write to arbitrary     files via a symlink attack on a file in the     synchronization path (bsc#915410).

These non-security issues were fixed :

  - Stop file upload after errors like a full disk     (boo#1062063)

  - Ensure -X flag works even when setting owner/group     (boo#1028842)

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in rsync, a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool, allowing a remote attacker to bypass intended access restrictions or cause a denial of service.

For Debian 7 'Wheezy', these problems have been fixed in version 3.0.9-4+deb7u1.

We recommend that you upgrade your rsync packages.

Jeriko One reports :

The receive_xattr function in xattrs.c in rsync 3.1.2 and 3.1.3-development does not check for a trailing '\0' character in an xattr name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending crafted data to the daemon.

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.

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.

Several vulnerabilities were discovered in rsync, a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool, allowing a remote attacker to bypass intended access restrictions or cause a denial of service.

It was discovered that rsync proceeds with certain file metadata updates before checking for a filename. An attacker could use this to bypass access restrictions. (CVE-2017-17433)

It was discovered that rsync does not check for fnamecmp filenames and also does not apply the sanitize_paths protection mechanism to pathnames. An attacker could use this to bypass access restrictions.
(CVE-2017-17434).
