Descriptions
The receive_xattr function in xattrs.c in rsync 3.1.2 and 3.1.3-development does not check for a trailing '\0' character in an xattr name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending crafted data to the daemon.
La función receive_xattr en xattrs.c en rsync 3.1.2 y 3.1.3-development no comprueba un carácter final '\0' en un nombre xattr, lo que permite que atacantes remotos provoquen una denegación de servicio (desbordamiento de búfer basado en memoria dinámica o heap y cierre inesperado de la aplicación) o, posiblemente, causen otros impactos no especificados enviando datos manipulados al demonio.
USN-3543-1 fixed vulnerabilities in rsync. This update provides the corresponding update for Ubuntu 12.04 ESM. It was discovered that rsync incorrectly handled certain data input. An attacker could possibly use this to cause a denial of service or execute arbitrary code. Various other issues were also addressed.
