Fedora 27: Rsync 3.1.3 Critical: Sanitation Bypass Fix Overview

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 3.1.3, includes security fix for CVE-2018-5764 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------ChangeLog: --------------------------------------------------------------------------------References: [ 1 ] Bug #1536662 - CVE-2018-5764 rsync: sanitization bypass in parse_argument in oprions.c [fedora-all] https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1536662 [ 2 ] Bug #1539466 - rsync-3.1.3 is available https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=1539466 --------------------------------------------------------------------------------This update can be installed with the "dnf" update program.
