<background>
<p>
rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync, allowing
local and remote systems backups.
</p>
</background>
<description>
<p>
The copy_symlink() subroutine in rsnapshot follows symlinks when
changing file ownership, instead of changing the ownership of the
symlink itself.
</p>
</description>
<impact type="high">
<p>
Under certain circumstances, local attackers can exploit this
vulnerability to take ownership of arbitrary files, resulting in local
privilege escalation.
</p>
</impact>
<workaround>
<p>
The copy_symlink() subroutine is not called if the cmd_cp parameter has
been enabled.
</p>
</workaround>
<resolution>
<p>
All rsnapshot users should upgrade to the latest version:
</p>
<code>
# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-backup/rsnapshot</code>
</resolution>
