The copy_symlink function in rsnapshot 1.2.0 and 1.1.x before 1.1.7 changes the ownership of files that a symlink points to rather than the symlink itself, which allows local users to obtain access to arbitrary files.

Security readout for executives and security teams

CVE-2005-1064 is a local file-access issue in rsnapshot. A bug in symlink handling could change ownership of a symlink target instead of the symlink, letting a local user gain access to files they should not read or control. Exposure is likely limited to hosts running affected rsnapshot versions where local users can create symlinks in paths processed by rsnapshot. Systems without rsnapshot, or without affected versions, are not indicated as exposed by the provided sources. Treat this as a targeted legacy exposure issue. Prioritize systems still using old rsnapshot versions, especially shared Unix/Linux hosts or backup servers handling user-writable data. Mitigation focus: Upgrade rsnapshot 1.1.x to 1.1.7 or later.; Check vendor guidance for the fixed path from rsnapshot 1.2.0.; Restrict local write access to directories processed by rsnapshot..
