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.\n\n## Affected\n\n- `rsync <= 3.3.0`\n- `almalinux = 8.0`\n- `almalinux = 9.0`\n- `almalinux = 10.0`\n- `arch_linux`\n- `linux`\n- `nixos < 24.11`\n- `suse_linux`\n- `smartos < 20250123`\n- `enterprise_linux = 8.0`\n- `enterprise_linux = 9.0`\n- `enterprise_linux_eus = 9.6`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_arm_64 = 8.0_aarch64`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_arm_64 = 9.0_aarch64`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_arm_64_eus = 9.6_aarch64`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems = 8.0_s390x`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems = 9.0_s390x`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_ibm_z_systems_eus = 9.6_s390x`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian = 8.0_ppc64le`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian = 9.0_ppc64le`\n- `enterprise_linux_for_power_little_endian_eus = 9.6_ppc64le`\n- `enterprise_linux_server_aus = 9.6`\n- `enterprise_linux_server_for_power_little_endian_update_services_for_sap_solutions = 9.6_ppc64le`\n- `enterprise_linux_update_services_for_sap_solutions = 9.6`\n\n## Remediation\n\nUpgrade past the affected range:\n\n- `nixos 24.11`\n- `smartos 20250123`","depth":"sunlit","depthScore":36,"depthScoreParts":{"impact":35.8,"likelihood":0.5,"exploitation":0,"ransomware":0},"changes":[]}
