    OpenPKG-SA-2004.025 21-May-2004

    Package: rsync
    Vulnerability: filesystem intrusion
    OpenPKG Specific: no

    Affected Releases: Affected Packages: Corrected Packages:
    OpenPKG CURRENT <= rsync-2.6.0-20040324 >= rsync-2.6.1-20040428
    OpenPKG 2.0 <= rsync-2.6.0-2.0.0 >= rsync-2.6.0-2.0.1
    OpenPKG 1.3 <= rsync-2.5.6-1.3.1 >= rsync-2.5.6-1.3.2

    Dependent Packages: none

    Description:
      According to a Rsync [0] security advisory [1], versions before
      2.6.1 do not properly sanitize paths when running as a read/write
      daemon without using chroot(2). This allows remote attackers to write
      files outside of the module's path. The OpenPKG default is to run
      a read-only daemon using chroot(2). The Common Vulnerabilities and
      Exposures (CVE) project assigned the id CAN-2004-0426 [2] to the
      problem.

      Please check whether you are affected by running "<prefix>/bin/rpm -q
      rsync". If you have the "rsync" package installed and its version is
      affected (see above), we recommend that you immediately upgrade it
      (see Solution) [3][4].

    Solution:
      Select the updated source RPM appropriate for your OpenPKG release
      [5][6], fetch it from the OpenPKG FTP service [7][8] or a mirror
      location, verify its integrity [9], build a corresponding binary RPM
      from it [3] and update your OpenPKG installation by applying the
      binary RPM [4]. For the most recent release OpenPKG 2.0, perform the
      following operations to permanently fix the security problem (for
      other releases adjust accordingly).

      $ ftp ftp.openpkg.org
      ftp> bin
      ftp> cd release/2.0/UPD
      ftp> get rsync-2.6.0-2.0.1.src.rpm
      ftp> bye
      $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -v --checksig rsync-2.6.0-2.0.1.src.rpm
      $ <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm --rebuild rsync-2.6.0-2.0.1.src.rpm
      $ su -
      # <prefix>/bin/openpkg rpm -Fvh <prefix>/RPM/PKG/rsync-2.6.0-2.0.1.*.rpm
