Red Hat Enterprise Linux does not ship these versions of Rsync and is not affected.\nRed Hat considers the severity of this vulnerability to be Critical only in cases where anonymous read access is allowed. Depending on the configuration and implementation choices, the severity may be significantly reduced for your organization.\nIn all supported versions of Red Hat Enterprise Linux, Rsync is not configured to run as a service by default.\nThere are two different methods for utilizing Rsync from a remote system: contacting an Rsync daemon directly with TCP or using a remote-shell program as the transport (such as ssh or rsh). The risk of this vulnerability changes depending on which connection method is used.\nThe default configuration of an Rsync daemon (rsyncd) running as a service does not require authentication. While rsyncd can be configured to require users to provide valid credentials, anonymous read access is a common configuration used by file sharing and mirroring hosts. The capabilities of the rsyncd process may vary depending on the user configured to run the Rsync daemon. In this scenario, an attacker only requires anonymous read access to a Rsync server in order to trigger this vulnerability. \nRemote-shell programs provide a layer of defense because they enforce users to have valid credentials while initiating the shell connection. When Rsync is invoked via this method, it spawns as a child of the session and will not remain running indefinitely. Since the process is spawned within the security context of the user, an attacker who is able to exploit this vulnerability remains restricted to the capabilities of the user account used to initiate the session. Authentication and network restrictions significantly reduce the attack surface and restricting permissions for remote shell users is always encouraged to limit the impact of compromised credentials.", "threat_severity": "Critical"}
