Problem description
A vulnerability was discovered in all versions of rsync prior to 2.5.7 that was recently used in conjunction with the Linux kernel do_brk() vulnerability to compromise a public rsync server. This heap overflow vulnerability, by itself, cannot yield root access, however it does allow arbitrary code execution on the host running rsync as a server. Also note that this only affects hosts running rsync in server mode (listening on port 873, typically under xinetd).
