"This updated rsync package fixes the following bug :

  - The previous rsync security errata update, which was
    applied with the rsync tool update to version 3.0.6-4,
    introduced a patch which fixed the issue with missing
    memory deallocation. Due to an error in that patch, the
    following new issue appeared: when specifying the source
    or destination argument of the rsync command without the
    optional user@ argument, rsync failed to provide the
    correct parameters to an external command, such as ssh,
    and thus rsync failed with an error. With this update,
    the source code has been modified to fix this issue

Because of the bug, the Scientific Linux Development Team was not able
to release the 3.0.6-4 security update.

All users of rsync are advised to upgrade to this updated package,
which resolves this bug, and provides the security, bug fixes and
enhancements of the 3.0.6-4 errata update."
