Summary
It was discovered that rsync incorrectly handled pointer arithmetic in zlib.
An attacker could use this issue to cause rsync to crash, resulting in a
denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2016-9840,
CVE-2016-9841)
It was discovered that rsync incorrectly handled vectors involving left shifts
of negative integers in zlib. An attacker could use this issue to cause rsync
to crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary
code. (CVE-2016-9842)
It was discovered that rsync incorrectly handled vectors involving big-endian
CRC calculation in zlib. An attacker could use this issue to cause rsync to
crash, resulting in a denial of service, or possibly execute arbitrary code.
(CVE-2016-9843)
