Synopsis

The remote Mandrake Linux host is missing a security update.

Description

Rsync before 2.6.1 does not properly sanitize paths when running a read/write daemon without using chroot, allows remote attackers to write files outside of the module's path.

The updated packages provide a patched rsync to correct this problem.
