Trail of Bits used the automated vulnerability discovery tools developed for the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge to audit zlib. As rsync, a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool, uses an embedded copy of zlib, those issues are also present in rsync.

CVE-2016-9840 In order to avoid undefined behavior, remove offset pointer optimization, as this is not compliant with the C standard.

CVE-2016-9841 Only use post-increment to be compliant with the C standard.

CVE-2016-9842 In order to avoid undefined behavior, do not shift negative values, as this is not compliant with the C standard.

CVE-2016-9843 In order to avoid undefined behavior, do not pre-decrement a pointer in big-endian CRC calculation, as this is not compliant with the C standard.

CVE-2018-5764 Prevent remote attackers from being able to bypass the argument-sanitization protection mechanism by ignoring --protect-args when already sent by client.

For Debian 8 ‘Jessie’, these problems have been fixed in version 3.1.1-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your rsync packages.

NOTE: Tenable Network Security has extracted the preceding description block directly from the DLA security advisory. Tenable has attempted to automatically clean and format it as much as possible without introducing additional issues.
