DESCRIPTION
 "rsync" is a program used mainly to mirror files between remote
 sites.
 
 Sebastian Krahmer from SuSe did an audit on the rsync source code and
 found several vulneranilities regarding the use of signed integers.
 Some variables could receive a negative value, and this was a
 condition that was not expected by the program. A remote attacker
 could exploit this to execute commands on the rsync server.


SOLUTION
 It is recommended that all rsync users upgrade their packages.
 
 IMPORTANT: please stop all rsync processes before upgrading. This
 will ensure that no old vulnerable copies will be left running. If
 rsync is running in daemon mode, it has to be restarted manually
 after upgrading.
 If rsync is being started by inetd or xinetd, then no further action
 is necessary after the upgrade, since these tools will automatically
 use the upgraded package.
