I have released rsync 3.0.2.  This is a security release to fix a
potential buffer overflow in the extended attribute support.  For
more details, see the rsync security advisory page:

  http://rsync.samba.org/security.html

There is a patch there that can be applied to 2.6.9 (if you were using
the xattrs.patch), 3.0.0, or 3.0.1.

Those running a writable rsync daemon can opt to refuse the "xattrs"
option in their daemon config to avoid the problem without an upgrade.

I would like to thank Sebastian Krahmer for bringing this bug to my
attention.
