[gentoo-mirrors] rsync 2.6.8 security update

[gentoo-mirrors] rsync 2.6.8 security update

[Andrea Barisani]

Hi folks,

rsync 2.6.8 is out and it's being bumped in the portage tree for a security
update.

Quoting release notes:

- The xattrs.diff patch received a security fix that prevents a potential
  buffer overflow in the receive_xattr() code.

Related bug:

http://bugs.gentoo.org/131631 (still closed but the issue is public anyway)

I updated the server on rsync1.it.gentoo.org for testing, after 2.6.0 the
--daemon options changed a bit, quoting changelog:

- The daemon-mode options are now separated from the normal rsync
  options so that they can't be mixed together.  This makes it
  impossible to start a daemon that has improper default option
  values (which could cause problems when a client connects, such as 
  hanging or crashing).

so you might have to strip some options from your command line arguments in
order to start it (and if appliable move them to rsyncd.conf)

More info at http://rsync.samba.org

Cheers

[gentoo-mirrors] gentoo-portage mirror problems

[Lior Kaplan]

I have hourly sync of gentoo-portage on mirror.hamakor.org.il.

In the last couple of days I keep getting these errors:

rsync error: timeout in data send/receive (code 30) at io.c(109)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (4314484 bytes received so far)
[receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420)
rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (4314484 bytes received so far)
[generator]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(420)

I get them from several servers while using the 'gentoo-portage' module:
rsync1.de.gentoo.org
rsync.gentoo.org
rsync1.us.gentoo.org

Any known problems?

Lior,

What version of rsync are you running? I would suspect if you bump the
version to >=2.6.6, that might fix your issue.

As Andrea stated in his gentoo-mirrors post, 2.6.8 is an update in which
you might try to alleviate the problem.

I guess not, I'm receiving the same error message (while sync'ing from
rsync1.us) since I upgraded rsync to 2.6.8 this morning on rsync1.de.g.o

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far)
[receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463)
[receiver=2.6.8]

Exactly the same here. Seems to be a problem for many people.

Hello List,

I'm still having problems syncing since upgrading rsync...

rsync: connection unexpectedly closed (0 bytes received so far) [receiver]
rsync error: error in rsync protocol data stream (code 12) at io.c(463)
[receiver=2.6.8]


Is there something I need to change on my system?

I had the same yesterday after updating but i think it was
because not all masters had the new version.

Now it's all fine and i don't get any errors anymore.

I still get get errors from the "check" from
warbler.gentoo.osuosl.org (140.211.166.162):

Is the first connection just a port check? The first always
fails while the 2nd always works.

Christian and others,

Apologies on this. Our Infrastructure team is working on upgrading all the
boxes to 2.6.8, and warbler was one we have not gotten to yet. But we are
upgrading it right now.
