MiracleLinux 4 : rsync-3.0.6-5.AXS4.1 (AXSA:2011-124:01)

critical Nessus Plugin ID 284289

Synopsis

The remote MiracleLinux host is missing a security update.

Description

The remote MiracleLinux 4 host has a package installed that is affected by a vulnerability as referenced in the AXSA:2011-124:01 advisory.

 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.
 Security issues fixed with this release:
 CVE-2011-1097 No information available at the time of writing, see CVE link below.

Tenable has extracted the preceding description block directly from the MiracleLinux security advisory.

Note that Nessus has not tested for this issue but has instead relied only on the application's self-reported version number.

Solution

Update the affected rsync package.
