Rsync version 2.5.6 contains a vulnerability that can be used to run
|
|
arbitrary code. The Gentoo infrastructure team has some reasonably good
|
|
forensic evidence that this exploit may have been used in combination with
|
|
the Linux kernel do_brk() vulnerability (see GLSA 200312-02) to exploit a
|
|
rsync.gentoo.org rotation server (see GLSA-200312-01.)
|
|
</p>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Please see http://lwn.net/Articles/61541/ for the security advisory released
|
|
by the rsync development team.

<impact type="high">
|
|
<p>
|
|
A remote attacker could execute arbitrary code with the permissions of the
|
|
root user.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</impact>
|
|
<workaround>
|
|
<p>
|
|
There is no known workaround at this time.
|
|
</p>
|
|
</workaround>
|
|
<resolution>
|
|
<p>
|
|
To address this vulnerability, all Gentoo users should read GLSA-200312-02
|
|
and ensure that all systems are upgraded to a version of the Linux kernel
|
|
without the do_brk() vulnerability, and upgrade to version 2.5.7 of rsync:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# emerge sync
|
|
# emerge -pv '>=net-misc/rsync-2.5.7'
|
|
# emerge '>=net-misc/rsync-2.5.7'
|
|
# emerge clean</code>
|
|
<p>
|
|
Review your /etc/rsync/rsyncd.conf configuration file; ensure that the use
|
|
chroot="no" command is commented out or removed, or change use chroot="no"
|
|
to use chroot="yes". Then, if necessary, restart rsyncd:
|
|
</p>
|
|
<code>
|
|
# /etc/init.d/rsyncd restart</code>
|
|
</resolution>
