"Trail of Bits used the automated vulnerability discovery tools
developed for the DARPA Cyber Grand Challenge to audit zlib. As rsync,
a fast, versatile, remote (and local) file-copying tool, uses an
embedded copy of zlib, those issues are also present in rsync.

CVE-2016-9840 In order to avoid undefined behavior, remove offset
pointer optimization, as this is not compliant with the C standard.

CVE-2016-9841 Only use post-increment to be compliant with the C
standard.

CVE-2016-9842 In order to avoid undefined behavior, do not shift
negative values, as this is not compliant with the C standard.

CVE-2016-9843 In order to avoid undefined behavior, do not
pre-decrement a pointer in big-endian CRC calculation, as this is not
compliant with the C standard.

CVE-2018-5764 Prevent remote attackers from being able to bypass the
argument-sanitization protection mechanism by ignoring --protect-args
when already sent by client.

For Debian 8 'Jessie', these problems have been fixed in version
3.1.1-3+deb8u2.

We recommend that you upgrade your rsync packages.
