Unspecified vulnerability in rsync before 3.0.0pre6, when running a writable rsync daemon, allows remote attackers to bypass exclude, exclude_from, and filter and read or write hidden files via symlink, partial-dir, backup-dir, and unspecified dest options. This update fixes these issues. It is recommended users read the manpage about the introduced munge symlinks feature.
