Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.53840
Category:Debian Local Security Checks
Title:Debian Security Advisory DSA 106-1 (rsync)
Summary:The remote host is missing an update to rsync;announced via advisory DSA 106-1.
Description:Summary:
The remote host is missing an update to rsync
announced via advisory DSA 106-1.

Vulnerability Insight:
Sebastian Krahmer found several places in rsync (a popular tool to
synchronise files between machines) where signed and unsigned numbers
were mixed which resulted in insecure code. This could be abused by
remote users to write 0-bytes in rsync's memory and trick rsync into
executing arbitrary code.

This has been fixed in version 2.3.2-1.3 and we recommend you upgrade
your rsync package immediately.

Solution:
Please install the updated package(s).

CVSS Score:
10.0
