A new version of rsync has been released:


rsync 2.5.4 (13 March 2002)

  "Imitation lizard skin"

  BUG FIXES:

    * Additional fix for zlib double-free bug.  (Martin Pool, Andrew
      Tridgell) (CVE CAN-2002-0059)
 
  ENHANCEMENTS:

    * Merge in changes from zlib 1.1.3 to zlib 1.1.4.  (Jos Backus)
      (Note that rsync still uses a custom version of zlib; you can
