Ubuntu Security Notice USN-1124-1
April 27, 2011
rsync vulnerability
==========================================================================
A security issue affects these releases of Ubuntu and its derivatives:
- Ubuntu 10.10
- Ubuntu 10.04 LTS
- Ubuntu 9.10
Summary:
rsync could be made to crash or run programs as your login if it connected
to a malicious server.
Software Description:
- rsync: fast remote file copy program (like rcp)
Details:
It was discovered that rsync incorrectly handled memory when certain
recursion, deletion and ownership options were used. If a user were tricked
into connecting to a malicious server, a remote attacker could cause a
denial of service or execute arbitrary code with privileges of the user
invoking the program.
Update instructions:
The problem can be corrected by updating your system to the following
package versions:
Ubuntu 10.10:
rsync 3.0.7-2ubuntu1.1
Ubuntu 10.04 LTS:
rsync 3.0.7-1ubuntu1.1
Ubuntu 9.10:
rsync 3.0.6-1ubuntu1.1
In general, a standard system update will make all the necessary changes.
