A flaw was found in rsync in versions since 3.2.0pre1. Rsync improperly validates certificate with host mismatch vulnerability. A remote, unauthenticated attacker could exploit the flaw by performing a man-in-the-middle attack using a valid certificate for another hostname which could compromise confidentiality and integrity of data transmitted using rsync-ssl. The highest threat from this vulnerability is to data confidentiality and integrity. This flaw affects rsync versions before 3.2.4.
An issue was discovered in rsync before 3.2.5 that allows malicious remote servers to write arbitrary files inside the directories of connecting peers. The server chooses which files/directories are sent to the client. However, the rsync client performs insufficient validation of file names. A malicious rsync server (or Man-in-The-Middle attacker) can overwrite arbitrary files in the rsync client target directory and subdirectories (for example, overwrite the .ssh/authorized_keys file).
commands/rsync in Gitolite before 3.6.11, if .gitolite.rc enables rsync, mishandles the rsync command line, which allows attackers to have a "bad" impact by triggering use of an option other than -v, -n, -q, or -P.
Мы постарались кратко описать путь, который прошла команда Timeweb за 10 лет: от rsync, LVM и DRBD до ZFS. Эта статья будет полезна тем, кто занимается серверной масштабируемой инфраструктурой, планирует делать бэкапы и заботится о бесперебойной работе систем. Расскажем о: rsync (remote synchronization) DRBD (Distributed Replicated Block Device) инкрементальные бэкапы под DRBD с помощью LVM DRBD + ThinLVM ZFS (Zettabyte File System) Читать дальше →
