-------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2008-3047 2008-04-17 03:16:44 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Name : rsync Product : Fedora 8 Version : 2.6.9 Release : 5.fc8 URL : [] Summary : A program for synchronizing files over a network. Description : Rsync uses a reliable algorithm to bring remote and host files into sync very quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences in the files over the network instead of sending the complete files. Rsync is often used as a very powerful mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the rcp command. A technical report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in this package. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ChangeLog: * Tue Apr 8 2008 Simo Sorce <ssorce@redhat.com> 2.6.9-5.fc8 - Security release: http://rsync.samba.org/security.html#s3_0_2 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- References: [ 1 ] Bug #441683 - rsync: integer overflow in xattr handling https://bugzilla.redhat.com/show_bug.cgi?id=441683 -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be installed with the "yum" update program.
