Description:
On January14, Nick Tait announced the discovery of six vulnerabilities in rsync , the popular file-synchronization tool. While software vulnerabilities are
not uncommon, the most serious one he announced allows for remote code execution
on servers that run rsyncd and possibly other configurations.
The bug itself is fairly simple, but this event provides a nice opportunity to dig into it, show why it is so serious, and consider ways
the open-source community can prevent such mistakes in the
future.
