Fedora Core 5: FEDORA-2006-700 Critical: Rsync Buffer Overflow

fedora
Calendar Grey June 12, 2006
Dist Fedora Esm H88
Fedora Core 5 patch for rsync-2.6.8-1.FC5.2 resolving a severe memory overflow vulnerability along with essential corrections.
Updated package.

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.

- Add my xattrs_bug patch to fix a bug where xattrs don't get sent correctly.

- Add BuildRequires to make sure libattr-devel and libacl-devel are avaliable

- replace --with... with --enable... so they actually work

- Add make, autoconf and gcc to BuildRequires

* Mon May 8 2006 Jay Fenlason 2.6.8-1.FC5

- New upstream release

- Use the upstream xattr patch instead of mine. This closes

bz#190208 CVE-2006-2083 rsync buffer overflow issue
