--
Summary:
This event is generated when an attempt is made to exploit a vulnerability associated with rsync.

--
Impact:
A successful attack may allow files to be existing files to be overwritten or new files created on the rsync server.

--
Detailed Information:
rsync is used to remote copy files.  A command line option "--backup-dir" can be used to specify a directory where backup files are to be placed. There is no validation of the argument supplied to this option to scrutinize it for proper formatting.  A malicious user can try to overwrite existing files or create new ones on a vulnerable host by supplying a value to "--backup-dir" that is relative to the root directory.

--
Affected Systems:
Many Unix and Linux distributions running rsync.
See http://www.securityfocus.com/bid/10247 for affected operating systems.

--
Attack Scenarios:
An attacker can send a rsync command supplying the -backup-dir option with a path relative to the root file system, overwriting or creating new files on the vulnerable host.

--
Ease of Attack:
Simple.

--
False Positives:
None known.

--
False Negatives:
None known.

--
Corrective Action:
Upgrade to the latest non-affected version of the software.

Run the rsync server in a chroot environment.
