Descriptions

rsync 3.x before 3.0.8, when certain recursion, deletion, and ownership options are used, allows remote rsync servers to cause a denial of service (heap memory corruption and application crash) or possibly execute arbitrary code via malformed data.

rsync 3.x anterior a3.0.8, cuando se utilizan ciertas opciones de recursión, borrado, y propietario, permite a los servidores rsync remotos provocar una denegación de servicio (corrupción de memoria dinámica y caída de la aplicación) o posiblemente ejecutar código arbitrario a través de datos con formato incorrecto.

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.
