Recent Novell Security Vulnerabilities

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon

CVE-2024-12084 9.8 - Critical - January 15, 2025

A heap-based buffer overflow flaw was found in the rsync daemon. This issue is due to improper handling of attacker-controlled checksum lengths (s2length) in the code. When MAX_DIGEST_LEN exceeds the fixed SUM_LENGTH (16 bytes), an attacker can write out of bounds in the sum2 buffer.

Memory Corruption

A flaw was found in rsync
