Synopsis
========

rsnapshot allow a local user to take ownership of local files,
resulting in privilege escalation.

Background
==========

rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync, allowing
local and remote systems backups.

Affected packages
=================

-------------------------------------------------------------------
Package / Vulnerable / Unaffected
-------------------------------------------------------------------
1 net-misc/rsnapshot < 1.2.1 >= 1.2.1

Description
===========

The copy_symlink() subroutine in rsnapshot follows symlinks when
changing file ownership, instead of changing the ownership of the
symlink itself.

Impact
======

Under certain circumstances, local attackers can exploit this
vulnerability to take ownership of arbitrary files, resulting in local
privilege escalation.

Workaround
==========

The copy_symlink() subroutine is not called if the cmd_cp parameter has
been enabled.

Resolution
==========

All rsnapshot users should upgrade to the latest version:

# emerge --sync
# emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose ">=net-misc/rsnapshot-1.2.1"
