CVE-2007-6199: When rsync is run w/o chroot, symlinks that point outside daemon's root can be created

Severity: Critical

CVSS Score: 9.3

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.
