EulerOS 2.0 SP1 : rsync (EulerOS-SA-2017-1332)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 105313

Synopsis

The remote EulerOS host is missing a security update.

Description

According to the version of the rsync package installed, the EulerOS installation on the remote host is affected by the following vulnerability :

 - The receive_xattr function in xattrs.c in rsync 3.1.2 and 3.1.3-development does not check for a trailing '\\0' character in an xattr name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending crafted data to the daemon.(CVE-2017-16548)

Note that Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the EulerOS security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.

Solution

Update the affected rsync package.
