Package        : rsync
Problem type   : remote exploit
Debian-specific: no

In Debian Security Advisory DSA-106-1 we reported a exploitable
problem in rsync. For details please see that advisory.

Unfortunately the patch used to fix that problem broke rsync.
This has been fixed in version 2.3.2-1.5 and we recommend you
upgrade to that version immediately.

wget url
        will fetch the file for you
dpkg -i file.deb
        will install the referenced file.


Debian GNU/Linux 2.2 alias potato
