Red Hat alert RHSA-2025:7050-01 (rsync)

An update for rsync is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of
Moderate. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which
gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from
the CVE link(s) in the References section.

The rsync utility enables the users to copy and synchronize files locally or
across a network. Synchronization with rsync is fast because rsync only sends
the differences in files over the network instead of sending whole files. The
rsync utility is also used as a mirroring tool.

Security Fix(es):

* rsync: Path traversal vulnerability in rsync (CVE-2024-12087)

* rsync: --safe-links option bypass leads to path traversal (CVE-2024-12088)
