+  <synopsis>

+    in privilege escalation.

+  <background>
+    <p>
+    rsnapshot is a filesystem snapshot utility based on rsync, allowing
+    local and remote systems backups.
+    </p>
+  </background>
+  <description>
+    <p>
+    The copy_symlink() subroutine in rsnapshot follows symlinks when
+    changing file ownership, instead of changing the ownership of the
+    symlink itself.
+    </p>
+  </description>
+  <impact type="high">
+    <p>
+    Under certain circumstances, local attackers can exploit this
+    vulnerability to take ownership of arbitrary files, resulting in local
+    privilege escalation.
+    </p>
+  </impact>
+  <workaround>
+    <p>
+    The copy_symlink() subroutine is not called if the cmd_cp parameter has
+    been enabled.
+    </p>
+  </workaround>
+  <resolution>
+    <p>
+    All rsnapshot users should upgrade to the latest version:
+    </p>
+    <code>
+    # emerge --sync
+    # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose app-backup/rsnapshot</code>
