Descriptions

The parse_arguments function in options.c in rsyncd in rsync before 3.1.3 does not prevent multiple --protect-args uses, which allows remote attackers to bypass an argument-sanitization protection mechanism.

La función parse_arguments en options.c en rsync, en versiones anteriores a la 3.1.3, no evita los usos múltiples de --protect-args, lo que permite que atacantes remotos omitan un mecanismo de protección de saneamiento de argumentos.

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.
