Dist Redhat Esm H88
Patch for rsync resolves significant vulnerabilities on Red Hat Enterprise Linux, improving the safety of file transfer applications.
An update for rsync is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 9

Solution

For details on how to apply this update, which includes the changes described in this advisory, refer to:

https://access.redhat.com/articles/11258

Summary

The rsync utility enables the users to copy and synchronize files locally or across a network. Synchronization with rsync is fast because rsync only sends the differences in files over the network instead of sending whole files. The rsync utility is also used as a mirroring tool.
Security Fix(es):
* zlib: heap-based buffer over-read and overflow in inflate() in inflate.c via a large gzip header extra field (CVE-2022-37434)
