[R] [O-T] rsync security bug on Debian potato

[hzi@uol.com.br]

Hello-

	This is off-tpoic, but of interest.
	There's a remote exploit bug on rsync, that was posted on Linux Today.
	I post this here because apparently it hasn't been mentioned (yet) on the
	Debian security advisory. The package list is not updated either.
	Perhaps this is what happened to CRAN when it was cracked...
	Maybe you admins at CRAN would want to contact the debian-security list.

	Best regards,

	Henry L.
