BUG FIXES:
- - Fixed the sanitizing of acceptable ../ dirs in 2 cases where an rsync
- daemon is receiving files when "use chroot" is not enabled and the
- destination dir is not at the top of the module's path: both the value
- of a symlink and the arg of the --FOO-dest options (i.e. --link-dest,
- --copy-dest, and --compare-dest) now know how deep the destination dir
- is in the module, and allow a safe number of ../ references instead of
- preventing the references from leaving the destination hierarchy (use
- the age-old --safe-links for that behavior).
+ - An rsync daemon that is receiving files with "use chroot = no" no longer
+ sanitizes the symlink target strings. This means that the symlinks
+ values will now be accepted (and returned) with all their symlink info
+ intact. Also, in order to keep things safe, any option that tells a
+ non-chroot daemon to treat some symlinks as their referent (such as
+ --copy-links or --keep-dirlinks) now manually checks the symlink chain
+ to ensure that the symlinks do not try to escape past the top of the
+ module's path. This makes a non-chroot daemon behave the same as a
+ chroot daemon with regard to symlinks, and also avoids a potential
+ problem where pre-existing symlinks could have escaped the module's
+ hierarchy.
+
+ - Fixed a overzealous sanitizing bug in the handling of the --*-dest
+ options (--link-dest, --copy-dest, and --compare-dest): if the copy's
+ destination dir is deeper than the top of the module's path, these
+ options now accept a safe number of ../ (parent-dir) references (since
+ these options are relative to the destination dir). The old code
+ incorrectly chopped off all "../" prefixes for these options, no matter
+ how deep the destination directory was in the hierarchy.
- Fixed a bug where a deferred info/error/log message could get sent
directly to the sender instead of being handled by rwrite() in the
- Make sure that the --link-dest option can still do its job even when -I
or --size-only is specified.
+ - The daemon now calls more timezone-using functions prior to doing a
+ chroot.
