CVE-2024-12088 is a path traversal vulnerability in rsync caused by improper validation of symbolic link destinations when the client is operating with the --safe-links option. A malicious rsync server can supply a symbolic link whose destination path contains another symbolic link, and the client fails to fully verify that nested link resolution remains within the intended transfer directory. Because the safety check is incomplete, the client may follow a crafted symlink chain and write transferred content outside the expected destination tree. The issue affects rsync versions prior to the fixed releases referenced in vendor updates, including vulnerable 3.3.0-era deployments, and is addressed upstream in rsync 3.4.x.
