The remote host is affected by the vulnerability described in GLSA-200605-05 (rsync: Potential integer overflow)
An integer overflow was found in the receive_xattr function from the extended attributes patch (xattr.c) for rsync. The vulnerable function is only present when the 'acl' USE flag is set.
Impact :
A remote attacker with write access to an rsync module could craft malicious extended attributes which would trigger the integer overflow, potentially resulting in the execution of arbitrary code with the rights of the rsync daemon.
Workaround :
Do not provide write access to an rsync module to untrusted parties.
