CVE-2017-16548 not yet assigned priority: Debian including 1 source packages (rsync), 5 status rows across 5 suites (bookworm, bullseye, forky, sid, trixie): resolved 5.
The receive_xattr function in xattrs.c in rsync 3.1.2 and 3.1.3-development does not check for a trailing '\0' character in an xattr name, which allows remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending crafted data to the daemon.
