Subject Name:            Rsync
Subject Summary:         Remote Filesystem Synchronization
Subject Home:            http://rsync.samba.org/
Subject Versions:        * <= 2.6.0

Vulnerability Id:        CVE-2004-0426
Vulnerability Scope:     global (not OpenPKG specific)

Attack Feasibility:      run-time
Attack Vector:           local system
Attack Impact:           manipulation of data

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).
