-----BEGIN PGP SIGNED MESSAGE----- Hash: SHA1 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Trustix Secure Linux Security Advisory #2002-0025 Package name: rsync Summary: Security fix Date: 2002-01-28 Affected versions: TSL 1.01, 1.1, 1.2, 1.5 - -------------------------------------------------------------------------- Problem description: This update fixes the signed/unsigned remote exploit bug in rsync. In previous releases the rsync program contained several bugs which would allow remote attackers to write 0-bytes to almost arbitrary stack- locations, thus giving them control over the programflow so that they could obtain a shell remotely.
