New rsync packages are available to fix a security problem.

Here's the information from the Slackware 8.0 ChangeLog:

Fri Jan 25 14:25:51 PST 2002
patches/packages/rsync.tgz: Fixed a security hole by upgrading to
  rsync-2.4.8pre1. This is the relevant information from the rsync NEWS file:

  SECURITY FIXES:

    * Signedness security patch from Sebastian Krahmer
      <krahmer@suse.de> -- in some cases we were not sufficiently
      careful about reading integers from the network.

(* Security fix *)

We recommend that sites providing external rsync access upgrade to the fixed
rsync package as soon as possible.
