  script_tag(name:"insight", value:"This update for rsync fixes several issues.

These security issues were fixed:

- CVE-2017-17434: The daemon in rsync did not check for fnamecmp filenames in
 the daemon_filter_list data structure (in the recv_files function in
 receiver.c) and also did not apply the sanitize_paths protection mechanism to
 pathnames found in 'xname follows' strings (in the read_ndx_and_attrs function
 in rsync.c), which allowed remote attackers to bypass intended access
 restrictions' (bsc#1071460).
- CVE-2017-17433: The recv_files function in receiver.c in the daemon in rsync,
 proceeded with certain file metadata updates before checking for a filename in
 the daemon_filter_list data structure, which allowed remote attackers to bypass
 intended access restrictions (bsc#1071459).
- CVE-2017-16548: The receive_xattr function in xattrs.c in rsync did not check
 for a trailing '\\0' character in an xattr name, which allowed remote attackers
 to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application
 crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending crafted data to the
 daemon (bsc#1066644).

This non-security issue was fixed:

- Stop file upload after errors like a full disk (bsc#1062063)
- Ensure -X flag works even when setting owner/group (bsc#1028842)");
