RsyncProject Rsync是RsyncProject组织开源的一款速度快、功能极其强大的文件复制工具，可用于复制远程文件和本地文件。 RsyncProject Rsync 3.5.0之前版本存在后置链接漏洞，该漏洞源于当use chroot被禁用且模块根路径或其组件为符号链接时，守护进程在会话初始化时调用chdir()到模块根目录而未通过realpath()或等效方法解析符号链接，导致后续相对路径操作引用符号链接目标而非预期模块根目录，可能允许远程客户端访问预期模块根目录之外的文件。

Vulnerability Title
rsync < 3.5.0 Path Traversal via Symlink Module Root
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
rsync before 3.5.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows remote clients to access files outside the intended module root when use chroot is disabled and the module root path or a component of it is a symlink. The daemon calls chdir() to the module root at session initialization without resolving symlinks via realpath() or equivalent, causing subsequent relative-path operations to reference files relative to the symlink target rather than the intended module root, enabling unauthorized file access.
