--------------------------------------------------------------------- Fedora Update Notification FEDORA-2006-601 2006-06-05 --------------------------------------------------------------------- Product : Fedora Core 4 Name : rsync Version : 2.6.8 Release : 1.FC4 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. --------------------------------------------------------------------- * Fri May 26 2006 Jay Fenlason <fenlason@redhat.com> 2.6.8-1.FC4 - Upgrade to 2.6.8, which closes bz#190208 CVE-2006-2083 rsync buffer overflow issue by switching from my xattrs patch to the upstream one. This also obsoletes the -address patch. --------------------------------------------------------------------- This update can be downloaded from: http://download.fedora.redhat.com/pub/fedora/linux/core/u... 50c4972ae72cba85e1595d8b8a06967cfe578d79 SRPMS/rsync-2.6.8-1.FC4.src.rpm 50c4972ae72cba85e1595d8b8a06967cfe578d79 noarch/rsync-2.6.8-1.FC4.src.rpm f9ab861337f4fc522f416fa823738c06692189e2 ppc/rsync-2.6.8-1.FC4.ppc.rpm 9d5eeae9a9255b1e155e5c3d7b07d94f8b5af272 ppc/debug/rsync-debuginfo-2.6.8-1.FC4.ppc.rpm 5a1848cf0d051aeee6098b02f2e3c7654d5040e8 x86_64/rsync-2.6.8-1.FC4.x86_64.rpm 0f71628844d13f71883245d6fda13fd46d4f4387 x86_64/debug/rsync-debuginfo-2.6.8-1.FC4.x86_64.rpm 42d62ed9b796ce23fc63f16cb95abb1d56f10893 i386/rsync-2.6.8-1.FC4.i386.rpm 9461224cdbaa05ed92e2c1e03f64c0b6598c5231 i386/debug/rsync-debuginfo-2.6.8-1.FC4.i386.rpm This update can be installed with the 'yum' update program.
