An update for rsync is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6
Advanced Mission Critical Update Support, Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6 Update
Services for SAP Solutions, and Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8.6
Telecommunications Update Service.

Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of
Low. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System (CVSS) base score, which gives a
detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the CVE
link(s) in the References section.

The rsync utility enables the users to copy and synchronize files locally or
across a network. Synchronization with rsync is fast because rsync only sends
the differences in files over the network instead of sending whole files. The
rsync utility is also used as a mirroring tool.

Security Fix(es):

* zlib: Out-of-bounds pointer arithmetic in inftrees.c (CVE-2016-9840)

For more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS
