NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rclone package and not the rclone package as distributed by Ubuntu.
See How to fix? for Ubuntu:26.04 relevant fixed versions and status.
Rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Insecure handling of symlinks with --links and --metadata in rclone while copying to local disk allows unprivileged users to indirectly modify ownership and permissions on symlink target files when a superuser or privileged process performs a copy. This vulnerability could enable privilege escalation and unauthorized access to critical system files, compromising system integrity, confidentiality, and availability. This vulnerability is fixed in 1.68.2.
