Security Bulletin

This security bulletin contains information about 5 vulnerabilities.

1) Use of Uninitialized Variable

EUVDB-ID: #VU102730

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:N/PR:N/UI:N/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12085

CWE-ID: CWE-457 - Use of Uninitialized Variable

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to information leak when comparing file checksums. A remote attacker can pass specially crafted data to the daemon and read 1 byte of uninitialized memory from stack.

Mitigation

Update the affected package rsync to the latest version.

2) Information disclosure

EUVDB-ID: #VU102732

Risk: Medium

CVSSv4.0: [CVSS:4.0/AV:N/AC:L/AT:P/PR:N/UI:A/VC:H/VI:N/VA:N/SC:N/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Green]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12086

CWE-ID: CWE-200 - Information exposure

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote attacker to gain access to potentially sensitive information.

The vulnerability exists due to excessive data output by the application when handling checksums. A remote attacker can trick the victim into connecting to an attacker-controlled server and enumerate contents of arbitrary files on the client's machine, basically allowing a rouge server to read contents byte-by-byte of any file on the client's system.

This issue occurs when files are being copied from a client to a server.

Mitigation

Update the affected package rsync to the latest version.

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12087

CWE-ID: CWE-22 - Improper Limitation of a Pathname to a Restricted Directory ('Path Traversal')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a remote server to write files to arbitrary locations on the system.

The vulnerability exists due to input validation error when using "--inc-recursive" option. A remote attacker can can trick the victim into connecting to a rouge rsync server and write arbitrary files to arbitrary locations on the client system.

Mitigation

Update the affected package rsync to the latest version.

5) Race condition

EUVDB-ID: #VU102739

Risk: Low

CVSSv4.0: [CVSS:4.0/AV:L/AC:L/AT:N/PR:L/UI:N/VC:L/VI:N/VA:N/SC:L/SI:N/SA:N/E:U/U:Clear]

CVE-ID: CVE-2024-12747

CWE-ID: CWE-362 - Concurrent Execution using Shared Resource with Improper Synchronization ('Race Condition')

Exploit availability: No

Description

The vulnerability allows a local user to gain access to sensitive information.
