Disclaimer: Community trackers are created by Red Hat Product Security team on a best effort basis. Package maintainers are required to ascertain if the flaw indeed affects their package, before starting the update process.

A flaw was found in rsync. An rsync daemon configured with "use chroot = no" is exposed
to a time-of-check / time-of-use race on parent path components. A local
attacker with write access to a module can replace a parent directory
component with a symlink between the receiver's check and its open(),
redirecting reads (basis-file disclosure) and writes (file overwrite)
outside the module. Under elevated daemon privilege this allows privilege
escalation. Default "use chroot = yes" is not exposed.
