Descriptions
The check_secret function in authenticate.c in rsync 3.1.0 and earlier allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (infinite loop and CPU consumption) via a user name which does not exist in the secrets file.
La función check_secret en authenticate.c en rsync 3.1.0 y anteriores permite a atacantes remotos causar una denegación de servicio (bucle infinito y consumo de CPU) a través de un nombre de usuario que no existe en el archivo de secretos.
Ryan Finnie discovered that rsync 3.1.0 contains a denial of service issue when attempting to authenticate using a nonexistent username. A remote attacker could use this flaw to cause a denial of service via CPU consumption.
