CVE-2017-16548

Priority
Description
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.
