Ubuntu Security Notice USN-3506-1
December 07, 2017

rsync vulnerabilities
==========================================================================

A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:

– Ubuntu 17.10
– Ubuntu 17.04
– Ubuntu 16.04 LTS
– Ubuntu 14.04 LTS

Summary:

Several security issues were fixed in rsync.

Software Description:
– rsync: fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool

Details:

It was discovered that rsync proceeds with certain file metadata
updates before checking for a filename. An attacker could use this to
bypass access restrictions. (CVE-2017-17433)

It was discovered that rsync does not check for fnamecmp filenames and
also does not apply the sanitize_paths protection mechanism to
pathnames. An attacker could use this to bypass access restrictions.
(CVE-2017-17434)

Update instructions:

The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:

Ubuntu 17.10:
  rsync                           3.1.2-2ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 17.04:
  rsync                           3.1.2-1ubuntu0.1

Ubuntu 16.04 LTS:
  rsync                           3.1.1-3ubuntu1.1

Ubuntu 14.04 LTS:
  rsync                           3.1.0-2ubuntu0.3

In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary
changes.
