Test ID:1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.54294
Category:Trustix Local Security Checks
Title:Trustix Security Advisory TSLSA-2004-0042 (rsync)
Summary:NOSUMMARY
Description:Description:

The remote host is missing updates announced in
advisory TSLSA-2004-0042.

From the official rsync advisory:

There is a security problem in all versions prior to 2.6.1 that
affects only people running a read/write daemon WITHOUT using chroot.
If the user privs that such an rsync daemon is using is anything above
nobody, you are at risk of someone crafting an attack that could
write a file outside of the module's path setting (where all its
files should be stored). Please either enable chroot or upgrade to
2.6.1. People not running a daemon, running a read-only daemon, or
running a chrooted daemon are totally unaffected.


Solution:
Update your system with the packages as indicated in
the referenced security advisory.
