SECURITY FIXES:
- Applied a zlib fix to block a buffer overflow in the decompression
code. Only affects a daemon if it allows uploads and does not refuse
the --compress option.
- The zlib code was upgraded to version 1.2.3 in order to make it more
secure. While the widely-publicized security problem in zlib 1.2.2 did
not affect rsync, another security problem surfaced that affects rsync's
zlib 1.1.4.
BUG FIXES:
......@@ -38,18 +39,39 @@ Changes since 2.6.5:
we now output a syntax error rather than trying to open the destination
hostspec as a filename.
- Rsync now outputs a targeted error if both the source and destination
path appear to be a remote filespecs rather than treating the dest as
a very strange local path and (most likely) generating an error about
non-existent directories.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- Added the --append option that makes rsync append data onto files
that are longer on the source than the destination (this includes new
files).
- The configure script now checks for lutimes() and lchmod() so that
rsync can make use of them to update attributes of symlinks (on
systems that support this).
- Made the "max verbosity" setting in the rsyncd.conf file settable on a
per-module basis (which now matches the documentation).
- Added two config items to the rsyncd.conf parsing: "pre-xfer exec"
and "post-xfer exec". These allow a command to be specified on a
per-module basis that will be run before and/or after a daemon-mode
transfer.
- The support/rrsync script has been upgraded to verify the args of options
that take them (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
that take args (instead of rejecting any such options). The script was
also changed to try to be more secure and to fix a problem in the parsing
of a pull operation that has multiple sources.
- Upgraded the zlib code from 1.1.4 to 1.2.2 (plus the security fix
mentioned above).
- Improved the documentation that explains the difference between a
normal daemon transfer and a daemon-over remote-shell transfer.
- Some of the diffs supplied in the patches dir were fixed and/or
improved.
