Mandrakelinux Security Update Advisory
_______________________________________________________________________

Package name: rsync
Advisory ID: MDKSA-2004:042
Date: May 10th, 2004

Affected versions: 10.0, 9.1, 9.2, Corporate Server 2.1,
Multi Network Firewall 8.2
______________________________________________________________________

Problem 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.
