rsync vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 20.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 18.04 LTS
Summary:
rsync could be made to crash or run programs if it received specially
crafted network traffic.
Software Description:
- rsync: fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool
Details:
Danilo Ramos discovered that rsync incorrectly handled memory when
performing certain zlib deflating operations. An attacker could use this
issue to cause rsync to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or
possibly execute arbitrary code.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 20.04 LTS:
rsync 3.1.3-8ubuntu0.3
Ubuntu 18.04 LTS:
rsync 3.1.2-2.1ubuntu1.4
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
