Machine-written summary

Summary written by Claude Haiku from the source advisory. Not reviewed by a person.

rclone before 1.75.1 applies directory metadata through symlinks in the destination when run with --links, changing files outside the destination. An attacker who controls the source, such as a malicious remote, can set the mode, owner and modification time of arbitrary paths outside it. Upgrade to rclone 1.75.1.
