Base vector

AV:N/AC:L/Au:N/C:P/I:P/A:P

Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions rsync versions prior to 2.5.7

Description The issue is related to a heap-based buffer overflow in rsync when running in server mode, allowing remote attackers to execute arbitrary code and possibly escape the chroot jail. This can lead to a violation of confidentiality, integrity, and availability of protected information. The exploitation of this issue can be performed remotely.

Recommendations For versions prior to 2.5.7, update to version 2.5.7 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider restricting access to the rsync server to minimize the risk of exploitation.
