NVD Description

Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsync package and not the rsync package as distributed by Ubuntu. See How to fix? for Ubuntu:18.04 relevant fixed versions and status.

The crc32_big function in crc32.c in zlib 1.2.8 might allow context-dependent attackers to have unspecified impact via vectors involving big-endian CRC calculation.
