Package        : rsync
Vulnerability  : directory traversal
Problem-Type   : remote
Debian-specific: no
CVE Ids        : CAN-2004-0426

A vulnerability was discovered in rsync, a file transfer program,
whereby a remote user could cause an rsync daemon to write files
outside of the intended directory tree.  This vulnerability is not
exploitable when the daemon is configured with the 'chroot' option.

For the current stable distribution (woody) this problem has been
fixed in version 2.5.5-0.4.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.6.1-1.

We recommend that you update your rsync package.

Upgrade Instructions
- --------------------

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.

If you are using the apt-get package manager, use the line for
sources.list as given below:

apt-get update
        will update the internal database
apt-get upgrade
        will install corrected packages

You may use an automated update by adding the resources from the
footer to the proper configuration.
