Title:	Mandrake Security Advisory MDKSA-2002:009 (rsync)
Summary:	NOSUMMARY
Description:	Description: The remote host is missing an update to rsync announced via advisory MDKSA-2002:009. Sebastian Krahmer of the SuSE Security Team performed an audit on the rsync tool and discovered that in several places signed and unsigned numbers were mixed, with the end result being insecure code. These flaws could be abused by remote users to write 0 bytes into rsync's memory and trick rsync into executing arbitrary code on the server. It is recommended that all Mandrake Linux users update rsync immediately. As well, rsync server administrators should seriously consider making use of the use chroot, read only, and uid options as these can significantly reduce the impact that security problems in rsync (or elsewhere) have on the server. Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, Corporate Server 1.0.1 Single Network Firewall 7.2 Solution: To upgrade automatically use MandrakeUpdate or urpmi. The verification of md5 checksums and GPG signatures is performed automatically for you. https://secure1.securityspace.com/smysecure/catid.html?in=MDKSA-2002:009 Risk factor : High
