quickly. Rsync is fast because it just sends the differences in the files over
the network instead of sending the complete files. Rsync is often used as a very
powerful mirroring process or just as a more capable replacement for the rcp
command. A technical report which describes the rsync algorithm is included in
this package.

Security fix(es):
- CVE-2024-12747: fix symlink race condition in sender

CVE(s):
CVE-2024-12747
A flaw was found in rsync. This vulnerability arises from a race condition during rsync's handling of symbolic links. Rsync's default behavior when encountering symbolic links is to skip them. If an attacker replaced a regular file with a symbolic link at the right time, it was possible to bypass the default behavior and traverse symbolic links. Depending on the privileges of the rsync process, an attacker could leak sensitive information, potentially leading to privilege escalation.
