Google: net-misc/rsync: security update to 18244.291.9

high Tenable Self-Hosted Container Security Plugin ID 451858

Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

- 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)

Solution

Update the net-misc/rsync library and its related packages to version 18244.291.9 or later.
