CVE-2005-1064  (opens in a new tab)

How to fix?

Upgrade Debian:13 rsnapshot to version 1.2.1-1 or higher.

NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsnapshot package and not the rsnapshot package as distributed by Debian. See How to fix? for Debian:13 relevant fixed versions and status.

The copy_symlink function in rsnapshot 1.2.0 and 1.1.x before 1.1.7 changes the ownership of files that a symlink points to rather than the symlink itself, which allows local users to obtain access to arbitrary files.
