Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing updates announced in advisory CLA-2003:794. rsync[1] is a program used mainly to mirror files between remote sites. rsync versions prior to 2.5.7 have a heap buffer overflow vulnerability[2] which can be exploited by remote attackers to execute arbitrary code. This vulnerability specially affects installations where rsync is used as a server/daemon, that is, where it was started with the --daemon command line argument. A new rsync version, 2.5.7, was released by the authors to address this vulnerability. Solution: The apt tool can be used to perform RPM package upgrades by running 'apt-get update' followed by 'apt-get upgrade' http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=CLA-2003:794 http://distro.conectiva.com.br/atualizacoes/index.php?id=a&anuncio=002003 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 7.5
