Description

The copy_symlink function in rsnapshot 1.2.0 and 1.1.x before 1.1.7 changes the ownership of files that a symlink points to rather than the symlink itself, which allows local users to obtain access to arbitrary files.

Affected configurations

• rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.0.10 • rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.1 • rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.1.1 • rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.1.2 • rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.1.3 • rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.1.4 • rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.1.5 • rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.1.6 • rsnapshot filesystem snapshot utility 1.2
