Red Hat rsync may let attackers read or change files

published 2 years ago

Summary

The rsync tools included with Red Hat Linux can be tricked into revealing or modifying files you didn’t intend to share. This could let a malicious user access sensitive data or alter important files on your servers. Apply the Red Hat security update for rsync as soon as possible to close the gap.

What to do

Update redhat rsync to version 0:3.1.3-7.el8_2.1.
Update redhat rsync-daemon to version 0:3.1.3-7.el8_2.1.
Update redhat rsync-debuginfo to version 0:3.1.3-7.el8_2.1.
Update redhat rsync-debugsource to version 0:3.1.3-7.el8_2.1.
