Description

There are packages installed that are affected by a vulnerability referenced in the following CVE:

 - rsync 3.2.0 through 3.2.3 (openssl mode) and rsync-ssl through 3.4.4 (stunnel mode) contain a TLS
 certificate validation vulnerability that allows on-path attackers to intercept encrypted sessions by
