Synopsis:          Moderate: rsync security update
Issue date:        2011-03-29
CVE Names:         CVE-2011-1097

A memory corruption flaw was found in the way the rsync client processed
malformed file list data. If an rsync client used the "--recursive" and
"--delete" options without the "--owner" option when connecting to a
malicious rsync server, the malicious server could cause rsync on the
client system to crash or, possibly, execute arbitrary code with the
privileges of the user running rsync. (CVE-2011-1097)

We would like to thank Wayne Davison and Matt McCutchen for reporting
this issue.
