Summary
Low: rsync security update
Details

The rsync utility enables the users to copy and synchronize files locally or across a network. Synchronization with rsync is fast because rsync only sends the differences in files over the network instead of sending whole files. The rsync utility is also used as a mirroring tool.

Security Fix(es):

  • zlib: Out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in inftrees.c (CVE-2016-9840)
