                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
________________________________________________________________________

Package name:           rsync
Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2002:009
Date:                   January 28th, 2002
Affected versions:      7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, Corporate Server 1.0.1
                        Single Network Firewall 7.2
________________________________________________________________________

Problem Description:

 Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team performed an audit on the
 rsync tool and discovered that in several places signed and unsigned
 numbers were mixed, with the end result being insecure code.  These
 flaws could be abused by remote users to write 0 bytes into rsync's
 memory and trick rsync into executing arbitrary code on the server.

 It is recommended that all Mandrake Linux users update rsync 
 immediately.  As well, rsync server administrators should seriously
 consider making use of the "use chroot", "read only", and "uid" options
 as these can significantly reduce the impact that security problems in
 rsync (or elsewhere) have on the server.
