CVE-2007-6199
rsync before 3.0.0pre6, when running a writable rsync daemon that is not using chroot, allows remote attackers to access restricted files via unknown vectors that cause rsync to create a symlink that points outside of the module's hierarchy.
Does this matter?
High impact if exploited, but EPSS currently rates exploitation as unlikely (4.14%). Schedule it in the normal patch cycle and watch for a rise in EPSS or a public exploit.
