medium Nessus Plugin ID 86394

Language:

Synopsis

The remote openSUSE host is missing a security update.

Description

rsync was updated to fix one security issue.

This security issue was fixed :

- CVE-2014-8242: Checksum collisions leading to a denial of service (bsc#900914).

This non-security issue was fixed :

- reintroduce 'use slp' directive (bsc#922710)

- disable it by default

- slp doesn't seem to be used much and it often caused problems (eg boo#898513, bsc#922710)

Solution

Update the affected rsync packages.
