Advisory Published
Updated rsync package fixes security vulnerability:
Ryan Finnie discovered that rsync 3.1.0 contains a denial of service issue
when attempting to authenticate using a nonexistent username. A remote
attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service via CPU consumption
(CVE-2014-2855).
The previous update for this issue in MGASA-2014-0179 failed to properly apply
the needed patch, so the package has been rebuilt to address this issue.
