CVE-2024-12088

The issue is related to rsync, a software package used for synchronizing files across different locations. A path traversal flaw was discovered in rsync when the --safe-links option is used. This flaw allows an attacker to write files arbitrarily outside the intended directory due to rsync's failure to correctly verify symbolic link destinations. The affected software is rsync, and the specific versions that are vulnerable are not specified in the given text. However, it is clear that the exploit can lead to arbitrary file writes, potentially causing significant security issues. The number of Internet users who may be affected by this issue is not provided. For more information, one might search for related exploit code, but caution should be exercised to avoid malicious sites. #rsync #PathTraversal #ALT Linux #SymbolicLink #ArbitraryFileWrite
