+Protocol: 30 (unchanged)
+Changes since 3.0.1:
BUG FIXES:
- - An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
- sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that each symlink's
- value will now be accepted (and thus returned) with its symlink info
- intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, all arg paths and any
- dereferenced symlinks (e.g. via --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) are
- manually verified to ensure that no symlinks try to escape past the top
- of the module's path. These changes make a non-chroot daemon behave the
- same way as a chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a
- potential problem where a pre-existing symlink could have escaped the
- module's hierarchy.
-
- - Fixed a overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --*-dest
- options (--link-dest, --copy-dest, and --compare-dest): if the copy's
- destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path, these
- options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references (since
- these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code
- incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter
- how deep the destination directory was in the module's hierarchy.
-
- - Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent
- directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the
- generator. This fixes an "unexpected tag 3" fatal error, and should
- also fix a potential problem where a deferred info/error message from
- the receiver might bypass the log file and get sent only to the client
- process. (These problems could only affect an rsync daemon that was
- receiving files.)
-
- - Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
- or --size-only is specified.
-
- - The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a
- chroot. This should help some C libraries to generate proper timestamps
- from inside a chrooted daemon (and to not try to access /etc/timezone
- over and over again).
-
- - Fixed a bug in the handling of an absolute --partial-dir=ABS_PATH option:
- it now deletes an alternate basis file from the partial-dir that was used
- to successfully update a destination file.
+ - Fixed a potential buffer overflow in the xattr code.
ENHANCEMENTS:
- - ...
+ - None.
DEVELOPER RELATED:
- - The acls.diff and xattrs.diff patches have received a bunch of work to
- make them much closer to being acceptable in the main distribution.
-
- - Updated config.guess and config.sub to their 2006-02-23 version.
+ - The RPM spec file was improved to install more useful files.
- - Updated various files to include the latest FSF address and to have
- consistent opening comments.
+ - A few developer-oriented scripts were moved from the support dir
+ to the packaging dir.
