What is CVE-2007-6199?

Earlier versions of Rsync (prior to 3.0.0pre6) are susceptible to a symlink traversal vulnerability that allows remote attackers to gain unauthorized access to files. This occurs when running a writable Rsync daemon without a chroot environment, permitting exploitation through methods that create symlinks pointing outside the designated module hierarchy. It is crucial for users to update to the latest versions to mitigate the risk.
