                Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
 _______________________________________________________________________

 Package name:           rsync
 Advisory ID:            MDKSA-2003:111
 Date:                   December 4th, 2003

 Affected versions:	 9.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
			 Multi Network Firewall 8.2
 ______________________________________________________________________

 Problem Description:

 A vulnerability was discovered in all versions of rsync prior to 2.5.7
 that was recently used in conjunction with the Linux kernel do_brk()
 vulnerability to compromise a public rsync server.
 
 This heap overflow vulnerability, by itself, cannot yield root access,
 however it does allow arbitrary code execution on the host running
 rsync as a server.  Also note that this only affects hosts running
 rsync in server mode (listening on port 873, typically under xinetd).
