Test ID:	1.3.6.1.4.1.25623.1.0.59189
Category:	Ubuntu Local Security Checks
Title:	Ubuntu USN-500-1 (rsync)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to rsync announced via advisory USN-500-1. A security issue affects the following Ubuntu releases: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS Ubuntu 6.10 Ubuntu 7.04 This advisory also applies to the corresponding versions of Kubuntu, Edubuntu, and Xubuntu. Details follow: Sebastian Krahmer discovered that rsync contained an off-by-one miscalculation when handling certain file paths. By creating a specially crafted tree of files and tricking an rsync server into processing them, a remote attacker could write a single NULL to stack memory, possibly leading to arbitrary code execution. Solution: The problem can be corrected by upgrading your system to the following package versions: Ubuntu 6.06 LTS: rsync 2.6.6-1ubuntu2.1 Ubuntu 6.10: rsync 2.6.8-2ubuntu3.1 Ubuntu 7.04: rsync 2.6.9-3ubuntu1.1 In general, a standard system upgrade is sufficient to effect the necessary changes. http://www.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=USN-500-1 Risk factor : High CVSS Score: 6.8
