Fedora Security Update Notification
FEDORA-2003-030
2003-12-04
---------------------------------------------------------------------
Name : rsync
Version : 2.5.7
Release : 2
Summary : A program for synchronizing files over a network.
Description :
Rsync uses a reliable algorithm to bring remote and host files into sync very quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences in the files over the network instead of sending the complete files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical
report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this package.

Update Information:
A heap overflow bug exists in rsync versions prior to 2.5.7. On machines where the rsync server has been enabled, a remote attacker could use this flaw to execute arbitrary code as an unprivileged user. The Common Vulnerabilities and Exposures project (cve.mitre.org) has assigned the name CAN-2003-0962 to this issue.
