Fedora 40: FEDORA-2025-b28759cb95 critical: rsync 3.4.1 security update

The release of Fedora 40's rsync security update incorporates crucial enhancements aimed at boosting the effectiveness and dependability of data synchronization.
New version 3.4.1, a couple of fixes for the 3.4.0 release.

Summary

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:

New version 3.4.1, a couple of fixes for the 3.4.0 release.
