Description Marcus Meissner 2018-07-12 06:02:34 UTC

via rh bugzilla

Reposync fails to sanitize paths in remote repository configuration files. If an attacker controls a repository a user is syncing with, the attacker may be able to copy files outside of the destination directory via path traversal. If reposync is running with heightened privileges on a targeted system, this flaw could potentially result in system compromise via the overwriting of critical system files.
