CVE IDCVE-2006-2083

Description:

The remote host is missing the patch for the advisory FEDORA-2006-601 (rsync).

Rsync uses a reliable algorithm to bring remote and host files into
sync very quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences
in the files over the network instead of sending the complete
files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or
just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical
report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this
package.



Update information :

* Fri May 26 2006 Jay Fenlason <fenlason redhat com> 2.6.8-1.FC4
- Upgrade to 2.6.8, which closes
bz#190208 CVE-2006-2083 rsync buffer overflow issue
by switching from my xattrs patch to the upstream one.
This also obsoletes the -address patch.



Solution : Get the newest Fedora Updates
Risk factor : High
