I have released rsync 3.0.2. This is a security release to fix a
potential buffer overflow in the extended attribute support. For
more details, see the rsync security advisory page:

There is a patch there that can be applied to 2.6.9 (if you were using
the xattrs.patch), 3.0.0, or 3.0.1.
Thanks Wayne,
I only use the fileflags and crtimes patches. Can I just use them from
the patch files directory released with 3.0.1, on 3.0.2?

Those running a writable rsync daemon can opt to refuse the "xattrs"
option in their daemon config to avoid the problem without an upgrade.
I would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer for bringing this bug to my
attention.
To see the brief summary of the changes since 3.0.1, visit this link:
