[slackware-security]  rsync (SSA:2025-014-01)

New rsync packages are available for Slackware 15.0 and -current to
fix security issues.


Here are the details from the Slackware 15.0 ChangeLog:
+--------------------------+
patches/packages/rsync-3.4.0-i586-1_slack15.0.txz:  Upgraded.
  This is a security release, fixing several important security vulnerabilities:
  Heap Buffer Overflow in Checksum Parsing.
  Info Leak via uninitialized Stack contents defeats ASLR.
  Server leaks arbitrary client files.
  Server can make client write files outside of destination directory using symbolic links.
  --safe-links Bypass.
  Symlink race condition.
  Many thanks to Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman at
  Google Cloud Vulnerability Research and Aleksei Gorban (Loqpa) for
  discovering these vulnerabilities and working with the rsync project
  to develop and test fixes.
