EulerOS 2.0 SP12 : rsync (EulerOS-SA-2025-1437)

medium Nessus Plugin ID 235424

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing multiple security updates.

Description

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

A flaw was found in rsync. When using the `--safe-links` option, the rsync client fails to properly verify if a symbolic link destination sent from the server contains another symbolic link within it. This results in a path traversal vulnerability, which may lead to arbitrary file write outside the desired directory.(CVE-2024-12088)

A flaw was found in rsync. It could allow a server to enumerate the contents of an arbitrary file from the client's machine. This issue occurs when files are being copied from a client to a server. During this process, the rsync server will send checksums of local data to the client to compare with in order to determine what data needs to be sent to the server. By sending specially constructed checksum values for arbitrary files, an attacker may be able to reconstruct the data of those files byte-by-byte based on the responses from the client.(CVE-2024-12086)

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS rsync security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for these issues but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected rsync packages.
