Platforms Tested: Linux

rsync <= 2.5.1 remote exploit - x86 ver.

The exploit allows an attacker to write NULL bytes below the &line[0] by supplying negative lengths, leading to a buffer overflow. This can be exploited to execute arbitrary code on the target system.

Mitigation:

Upgrade to a version higher than 2.5.1. If an upgrade is not possible, consider using an alternative rsync implementation or restricting access to the rsync service.

 * current version 2.5.5 but bug was silently fixed it appears
