[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.3.0 released
I have released rsync version 3.3.0. This is a bug fix release, with the increased version bump being a delayed reaction to some of the recent larger changes that have happened. To see a summary of all the recent changes, visit this link: https://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/NEWS#3.3.0 You can download the source tar file and its signature from here: https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/src-previews/rsync-3.3.0.tar.gz https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/src-previews/rsync-3.3.0.tar.gz.asc See the website for other downloads, including diffs, patches, etc.: https://rsync.samba.org/ The github repos have moved to a new RsyncProject organization. Because various life events have been monopolizing my time, I reached out to Tridge (the original author) and he has graciously agreed to get back into rsync work, along with Paul Mackerras, who was also an early contributor to rsync. This new team will be working mainly on maintenance tasks, and not so much on new features. If you want to get involved, feel free to reach out on the new discord RsyncProject channels.

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.5pre1 released
I have released rsync version 3.2.5pre1 for release testing. This includes a checksum fix that affects some architectures (such as ARM), improves the security of the received file list, enhances the manpage, etc. I'd really appreciate it if people would give this release some extensive testing and see if the improved security results in any false alerts. I did a bunch of testing and found a few options that caused a problem (and were then fixed), but there may be more. You can use a side-effect of the --old-args option <https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsync.1#opt--old-args> to work around an invalid complaint, but please also report it. Thanks!

Re: [rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.4 released
For those packaging rsync 3.2.4 using a C compiler where "char" defaults to "unsigned char", such as ARM systems, rsync 3.2.4 will potentially generate the wrong rolling checksum values, thus failing to optimize the copy with the full amount of matching local data from a prior copy when high-bit characters are present. This can be fixed using a simple configure patch: https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/rsync-schar-fix-3.2.4.diff After applying that, doing a full configure & make will fix things up (those updating an existing build dir can use "make reconfigure" & make). This fix is committed to git for the upcoming 3.2.5 release. ..wayne.. > ___________ rsync-announce mailing list rsync-announce@lists.samba.org https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync-announce
[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.4pre4 released

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.4pre2 released
Rsync version 3.2.4pre2 is now available for release testing. I decided to go ahead and make a fairly significant change from pre1 to pre2: the new backslash escaping of remote args. This should be a more compatible change than making --protect-args enabled by default, and I figured that since there was already an output change in 3.2.4 it would be good to group this (potential) scripting-relevant change into one release rather than dividing it over 2 separate releases.

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.2.2pre2 released
I have made rsync 3.2.2pre2 available for release testing. I noticed a couple more minor issues with building from an alternative dir, so I simplified the build-dir idiom to put all the generated files in the build dir instead of having some of the configure-related ones in the src dir. This simplification made it easy to improve my patch-maintenance and release scripts, so I did that as well. And I finally moved the version out of the configure script so that I don't need to re-run configure every time the version number changes.

The changes since pre2: - Various configure changes to make sure that the packager doesn't miss out on new features that require new dependencies. - Made the SIMD code opt-in instead of opt-out. - Configure now checks to ensure that if the man pages are missing that there's a python3 setup that can generate them (the early info is better than a future make failure). Man page generation can also be disabled via configure option. - Fixed a portability issue with some sed code by turning it into awk code. - Fixed a Makefile portability issue. - Updated the config.guess and config.sub, which helps with newer OS releases such as Centos 7. - Ran test compilations on FreeBSD, Solaris, CentOS, AIX, Ubuntu, openSUSE, Debian, & Cygwin. - Fixed a build issue when iconv is not available.

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.0.0pre10 released
I've just released rsync 3.0.0pre10. I incorporated the latest daemon security fixes, and decided to include a few more minor bug fixes as well. If all goes well, this should be released as 3.0.0 final sometime next week. Please help to test it to ensure that we're ready to go!

[rsync-announce] Another security advisory for a writable chroot daemon
It was recently brought to my attention that a writable rsync daemon that has use chroot enabled could potentially be tricked into loading a user-supplied library file if the library can be uploaded into a spot where a normal rsync action (such as an attempt to lookup a username from an ID) would cause the loader to load it in. If you haven't already taken steps to exclude library areas from your writable chroot module, then you should read on. If anyone is running their writable module with a uid of 0 and allowing access by users that they don't fully trust, I'd suggest fixing that first. One easy way to keep users from uploading libraries into sensitive areas of your chroot hierarchy is to create some directories in the top of the chroot area without write permissions for the module's user. Then, exclude those directories via the daemon config file, like this: exclude = /etc /lib /usr There is also a patch available that solves the problem for the case of user/group-name lookups: I have added of a new daemon config parameter, numeric ids, that disables ID lookups when enabled. It is enabled by default for a chroot module. This change was just added to the 3.0.0 code for inclusion in its upcoming release. There is also a patch available for 2.6.9: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/daemon-ids-2.6.9.diff This patch assumes that you've already applied the munge-symlinks diff that was mentioned in an earlier advisory. (If you did not wish to do that, there will be a few failed hunks that can be manually applied.) If anyone discovers any other libraries that rsync might try to dynamically load after it does a chroot, please let me know. ..wayne.. signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ rsync-announce mailing list rsync-announce@lists.samba.org https://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync-announce
[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.0.0pre8 released
I've just released rsync 3.0.0pre8. This version may be the last pre- release before the 3.0.0 release. Please help to test it to ensure that we find as many bugs as we can! Send email to the rsync mailing list with your questions, comments, bug reports, etc. If anyone can help out with the testing of hard-links on AIX, HP-UX, or IRIX, please let me know.

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.0.0pre7 released
I've just released rsync 3.0.0pre7, the latest pre-release version of the upcoming 3.0.0 release. This release contains fixed exclude checks for a use chroot = no daemon that has excludes listed in the config file. This is a partial fix for the 2nd advisory that was released recently. See the rsync security web page for the updated details and a patch for 2.6.9: http://rsync.samba.org/security.html Thanks for all the testing!

[rsync-announce] Rsync 3.0.0pre1 released
I've just released rsync 3.0.0pre1, the first pre-release version for the upcoming 3.0.0 release. The version number is getting such a large bump due to the addition of an incremental recursion scan (which helps a lot with large transfers) and the official arrival of several other new features, including ACL support, extended attribute support, file- name character-set conversion, etc. Please test this out and email the rsync mailing list with any questions, comments, bug reports, etc. Thanks!

[rsync-announce] rsync 2.6.2 released
Rsync version 2.6.2 has been released. It is a bugfix release that mainly fixes a bug with the --relative option (-R) in 2.6.1 that could cause files to be transferred incorrectly. This only affected a source right at the root of the filesystem, such as / or /* (using . as the source after a chdir to / was not affected, however).

[rsync-announce] Rsync 2.6.1 released (includes security note)
Rsync version 2.6.1 has been released. It is primarily a performance release that requires less memory to run, makes fewer write calls to the socket (lowering the system CPU time), does less string copying (lowering the user CPU time), and also reduces the amount of data that is transmitted over the wire. There have also been quite a few bug fixes. See the release NEWS for the full details: http://rsync.samba.org/ftp/rsync/rsync-2.6.1-NEWS *Security Note* There is a security fix included in 2.6.1 that affects only people running a read/write daemon WITHOUT using chroot. If the user privs that such an rsync daemon is using is anything above nobody, you are at risk of someone crafting an attack that could write a file outside of the module's path. Please either enable chroot or upgrade to 2.6.1. People not running a daemon, running a read-only daemon, or running a chrooted daemon are totally unaffected.

[rsync-announce] rsync 2.6.0 (final) released
failed. (Wayne Davison) * Fixed some bugs in the handling of --delete and --exclude when using the --relative (-R) option. (Wayne Davison) * Fixed bug that prevented regular files from replacing special files and caused a directory in --link-dest or --compare-dest to block the creation of a file with the same path. A directory still cannot be replaced by a regular file unless --delete specified. (J.W. Schultz) * Detect and report when open or opendir succeed but read and readdir fail caused by network filesystems issues and truncated files. (David Norwood, Michael Brown, J.W. Schultz) * Added a fix that should give ssh time to restore the tty settings if the user presses Ctrl-C at an ssh password prompt. INTERNAL: * Eliminated vestigial support for old versions that we stopped supporting. (J.W. Schultz) * Simplified some of the option-parsing code. (Wayne Davison) * Some cleanup made to the exclude code, as well as some new defines added to enhance readability. (Wayne Davison) * Changed the protocol-version code so that it can interact at a lower protocol level than the maximum supported by both sides. Added an undocumented option, --protocol=N, to force the value we advertise to the other side (primarily for testing purposes).

[rsync-announce] rsync security advisory
rsync 2.5.6 security advisory - December 4th 2003 Background -- The rsync team has received evidence that a vulnerability in rsync was recently used in combination with a Linux kernel vulnerability to compromise the security of a public rsync server. While the forensic evidence we have is incomplete, we have pieced together the most likely way that this attack was conducted and we are releasing this advisory as a result of our investigations to date. Our conclusions are that: - rsync version 2.5.6 contains a heap overflow vulnerability that can be used to remotely run arbitrary code. - While this heap overflow vulnerability could not be used by itself to obtain root access on a rsync server, it could be used in combination with the recently announced brk vulnerability in the Linux kernel to produce a full remote compromise. - The server that was compromised was using a non-default rsyncd.conf option use chroot = no. The use of this option made the attack on the compromised server considerably easier. A successful attack is almost certainly still possible without this option, but it would be much more difficult. Please note that this vulnerability only affects the use of rsync as a rsync server. To see if you are running a rsync server you should use the netstat command to see if you are listening on TCP port 873. If you are not listening on TCP port 873 then you are not running a rsync server. New rsync release - In response we have released a new version of rsync, version 2.5.7. This is based on the current stable 2.5.6 release with only the changes necessary to prevent this heap overflow vulnerability. There are no new features in this release. We recommend that anyone running a rsync server take the following steps: 1) update to rsync version 2.5.7 immediately 2) if you are running a Linux kernel prior to version 2.4.23 then you should upgrade your kernel immediately. Note that some distribution vendors may have patched versions of the 2.4.x series kernel that fix the brk vulnerability in versions before 2.4.23. Check with your vendor security site to ensure that you are not vulnerable to the brk problem. 3) review your /etc/rsyncd.conf configuration file. If you are using the option use chroot = no then remove that line or change it to use chroot = yes. If you find that you need that option for your rsync service then you should disable your rsync service until you have discussed a workaround with the rsync maintainers on the rsync mailing list. The disabling of the chroot option should not be needed for any normal rsync server. The patches and full source for rsync version 2.5.7 are available from http://rsync.samba.org/ and mirror sites. We expect that vendors will produce updated packages for their distributions shortly. Credits --- The rsync team would like to thank the following individuals for their assistance in investigating this vulnerability and producing this response: * Timo Sirainen tss iki.fi * Mike Warfield mhw wittsend.com * Paul Russell rusty samba.org * Andrea Barisani lcars gentoo.org Regards, The rsync team signature.asc Description: Digital signature ___ rsync-announce mailing list [EMAIL PROTECTED] http://lists.samba.org/mailman/listinfo/rsync-announce
