Description:
   Previous versions of the rsync package contain two vulnerabilities
   in the rsync server which can allow users to bypass security
   restrictions under certain specific configurations.  As these
   vulnerabilities are only exposed when running the rsync server,
   default configurations are not vulnerable.
