{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-88016","details":"rclone is a command-line program to sync files and directories to and from different cloud storage providers. Prior to 1.75.1, when backend/local runs with --links, a source .rclonelink object can plant a symlink in the destination and later directory metadata is applied through that path. MkdirMetadata, writeMetadataToFile, and setTimes operate when Directory.translatedLink=false, so os.Chown, os.Chmod, os.Chtimes, and birth-time handling can bypass os.Root confinement and follow the symlink. An attacker controlling source contents can therefore apply selected ownership, permissions, modification times, or birth times to a file or directory outside the destination, with --metadata required for chmod and chown while modification time is applied by the normal directory workflow. This issue is fixed in version 1.75.1.","modified":"2026-09-16T08:47:35.502300935Z","published":"2026-09-10T16:18:08.637Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-88016"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-88016"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rclone","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rclone?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.60.1+dfsg-2","1.60.1+dfsg-3","1.60.1+dfsg-4","1.65.0+dfsg-1","1.65.0+dfsg-2","1.69.3+dfsg-1","1.69.3+dfsg-2","1.69.3+dfsg-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-88016.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rclone","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rclone?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["1.60.1+dfsg-4","1.65.0+dfsg-1","1.65.0+dfsg-2","1.69.3+dfsg-1","1.69.3+dfsg-2","1.69.3+dfsg-3"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-88016.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.9.0","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:H/PR:L/UI:R/S:C/C:L/I:H/A:L"}]}
