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之前版本存在安全漏洞，该漏洞源于发送方源树遍历中存在符号链接竞争条件，攻击者可操纵源树父目录并在路径解析与文件打开操作之间将父目录组件替换为指向源根目录之外的符号链接，导致文件读取被重定向到非预期路径，从而泄露预期传输根目录之外的文件内容。

Vulnerability Title
rsync < 3.5.0 Symlink Race Condition Information Disclosure
Source: CVE Program / CVE List V5
Vulnerability Description
rsync before 3.5.0 contains a symlink race condition vulnerability in the sender's source tree traversal that allows an attacker who can manipulate a parent directory of the source tree to redirect file reads to unintended paths. Attackers can atomically replace a parent directory component with a symlink pointing outside the source root between path resolution and file open operations to disclose file contents outside the intended transfer root.
