Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions rsync versions prior to 3.0.0pre6

Description The issue allows remote attackers to access restricted files via unknown vectors that cause rsync to create a symlink that points outside of the module's hierarchy when running a writable rsync daemon that is not using chroot.

Recommendations For versions prior to 3.0.0pre6, update to version 3.0.0pre6 or later to resolve the issue. As a temporary workaround, consider using chroot for the rsync daemon to minimize the risk of exploitation.
