                    Mandrake Linux Security Update Advisory
    ________________________________________________________________________

    Package name: rsync
    Advisory ID: MDKSA-2002:024
    Date: March 13th, 2002
    Affected versions: 7.1, 7.2, 8.0, 8.1, Corporate Server 1.0.1,
                            Single Network Firewall 7.2
    ________________________________________________________________________

    Problem Description:

     Ethan Benson discovered a bug in rsync where the supplementary groups
     that the rsync daemon runs as (such as root) would not be removed
     from the server process after changing to the specified unprivileged
     uid and gid. This seems only serious if rsync is called using "rsync
     --daemon" from the command line where it will inherit the group of the
     user starting the server (usually root). Note that, by default,
     Mandrake Linux uses xinetd to handle connections to the rsync daemon.
     This was fixed upstream in version 2.5.3, as well as the previously
     noted zlib fixes (see MDKSA-2002:023). The authors released 2.5.4 with
     some additional zlib fixes, and all users are encouraged to upgrade to
     this new version of rsync.
