The way to find out is to ask Red Hat or look in their SRPMs.  Choose
either client or server (they seem to be the same in this case--are they
always?):

http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Client/en/os/SRPMS/rsync-2.6.8-3.1.src.rpm
http://ftp.redhat.com/pub/redhat/linux/enterprise/5Server/en/os/SRPMS/rsync-2.6.8-3.1.src.rpm

It looks like there's one bug fix related to memory allocation for
extended attributes, but that's all.
