CVE-2017-15994 (opens in a new tab)Amendment
The Ubuntu security team deemed this advisory irrelevant for Ubuntu:19.04.
NVD Description
Note: Versions mentioned in the description apply only to the upstream rsync package and not the rsync package as distributed by Ubuntu.
rsync 3.1.3-development before 2017-10-24 mishandles archaic checksums, which makes it easier for remote attackers to bypass intended access restrictions. NOTE: the rsync development branch has significant use beyond the rsync developers, e.g., the code has been copied for use in various GitHub projects.
