Fixes the following vulnerabilities:
CVE-2024-12084: Heap Buffer Overflow in Rsync due to Improper Checksum
Length Handling
Description: A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync
daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled
checksum lengths (s2length) in the code. When MAX_DIGEST_LEN exceeds the
fixed SUM_LENGTH (16 bytes), an attacker can write out of bounds in the
sum2 buffer.
CVE-2024-12085: Info Leak via Uninitialized Stack Contents
Description: A flaw was found in the rsync daemon which could be triggered
when rsync compares file checksums. This flaw allows an attacker to
manipulate the checksum length (s2length) to cause a comparison between a
checksum and uninitialized memory and leak one byte of uninitialized stack
data at a time.
CVE-2024-12086: Rsync Server Leaks Arbitrary Client Files
Description: A flaw was found in rsync. It could allow a server to
enumerate the contents of an arbitrary file from the client's machine. This
issue occurs when files are being copied from a client to a server. During
this process, the rsync server will send checksums of local data to the
client to compare with in order to determine what data needs to be sent to
the server. By sending specially constructed checksum values for arbitrary
files, an attacker may be able to reconstruct the data of those files
byte-by-byte based on the responses from the client.
CVE-2024-12087: Path Traversal Vulnerability in Rsync
Description: A path traversal vulnerability exists in rsync. It stems from
behavior enabled by the `--inc-recursive` option, a default-enabled option
for many client options and can be enabled by the server even if not
explicitly enabled by the client. When using the `--inc-recursive` option,
a lack of proper symlink verification coupled with deduplication checks
occurring on a per-file-list basis could allow a server to write files
outside of the client's intended destination directory. A malicious server
could write malicious files to arbitrary locations named after valid
directories/paths on the client.
CVE-2024-12088: --safe-links Option Bypass Leads to Path Traversal
Description: A flaw was found in rsync. When using the `--safe-links`
option, rsync fails to properly verify if a symbolic link destination
contains another symbolic link within it. This results in a path traversal
vulnerability, which may lead to arbitrary file write outside the desired
directory.
CVE-2024-12747: Race Condition in Rsync Handling Symbolic Links
Description: A flaw was found in rsync. This vulnerability arises from a
race condition during rsync's handling of symbolic links. Rsync's default
behavior when encountering symbolic links is to skip them. If an attacker
replaced a regular file with a symbolic link at the right time, it was
possible to bypass the default behavior and traverse symbolic links.
Depending on the privileges of the rsync process, an attacker could leak
sensitive information, potentially leading to privilege escalation.

Buildroot is a simple, efficient and easy-to-use tool to generate embedded Linux systems through cross-compilation. The documentation can be found in docs/manual. You can generate a text document with 'make manual-text' and read output/docs/manual/manual.text. Online documentation can be found at http://buildroot.org/docs.html To build and use the buildroot stuff, do the following: 1) run 'make menuconfig' 2) select the target architecture and the packages you wish to compile 3) run 'make' 4) wait while it compiles 5) find the kernel, bootloader, root filesystem, etc. in output/images You do not need to be root to build or run buildroot. Have fun! Buildroot comes with a basic configuration for a number of boards. Run 'make list-defconfigs' to view the list of provided configurations. Please feed suggestions, bug reports, insults, and bribes back to the buildroot mailing list: buildroot@buildroot.org You can also find us on #buildroot on OFTC IRC.
