60ef8ed1 | 1 | NEWS for rsync 2.6.9 (unreleased) |

5 | BUG FIXES: |
6 | ||
5fdbb87d | 7 | - An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer |
2220ec0a WD |
8 | sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that each symlink's |
9 | value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink info | |
5fdbb87d WD |
10 | intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, any option that tells a |
11 | non-chroot daemon to treat some symlinks as their referent (such as | |
12 | --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) now manually checks the symlink chain | |
13 | to ensure that the symlinks do not try to escape past the top of the | |
2220ec0a WD |
14 | module's path. Both these changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the |
15 | same as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a | |
16 | potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the | |
17 | module's hierarchy. | |
5fdbb87d WD |
18 | |
19 | - Fixed a overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --*-dest | |
45ba206a | 20 | options (--link-dest, --copy-dest, and --compare-dest): if the copy's |
5fdbb87d WD |
21 | destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path, these |
22 | options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references (since | |
23 | these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code | |
24 | incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter | |
45ba206a | 25 | how deep the destination directory was in the module's hierarchy. |

27 | - Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent |
28 | directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the | |
29 | generator. This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should | |
30 | also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from | |
31 | the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client | |
32 | process. (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was | |
33 | receiving files.) | |

35 | - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I |
36 | or --size-only is specified. | |
08c0cd8a | 37 | |
5fdbb87d | 38 | - The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a |
45ba206a WD |
39 | chroot. This should help some C libraries to generate proper timestamps |
40 | from inside a chrooted daemon (and to not try to access /etc/timezone | |
41 | over and over again). | |
