Heap-based buffer overflow in rsync in Mac OS X 10.4 through 10.4.5 allows remote authenticated users to execute arbitrary code via long extended attributes.
The product performs operations on a memory buffer, but it reads from or writes to a memory location outside the buffer's intended boundary. This may result in read or write operations on unexpected memory locations that could be linked to other variables, data structures, or internal program data.
