+ <description>
+ <p>
+ Sebastian Krahmer from the SUSE Security Team discovered two off-by-one
+ errors in the function "f_name()" in file sender.c when processing
+ overly long directory names.
+ </p>
+ </description>
+ <impact type="normal">
+ <p>
+ A remote attacker could entice a user to synchronize a repository
+ containing specially crafted directories, leading to the execution of
+ arbitrary code with the privileges of the user running the application.
+ </p>
+ </impact>
+ <workaround>
+ <p>
+ There is no known workaround at this time.
+ </p>
+ </workaround>
+ <resolution>
+ <p>
+ All rsync users should upgrade to the latest version:
+ </p>
+ <code>
+ # emerge --sync
+ # emerge --ask --oneshot --verbose "&gt;=net-misc/rsync-2.6.9-r3"</code>
