What is package rsync-3.4.1, rsync  version 3.4.1 protocol version 32?

KEYWORDS:  rsync-3.4.1 rsync  version 3.4.1 protocol version 32

RELEASE:  UnixWare 7 Definitive D2M1 with MP1
          or SCO OpenServer 6 Definitive D2M1 with oss726j or later.

    Rsync is a fast and extraordinarily versatile file copying tool for
    both remote and local files.

    Rsync uses a delta-transfer algorithm which provides a very fast method
    for bringing remote files into sync.  It does this by sending just the
    differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both
    sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.  At
    first glance this may seem impossible because the calculation of diffs
    between two files normally requires local access to both files.

Changes between rsync-3.1.2 and rsync-3.4.1
    Numersous bug fixes and enhancements documented in
    /usr/share/doc/packages/rsync/NEWS.md

Security fixes in rsync-3.4.1
- CVE-2024-12084 - Heap Buffer Overflow in Checksum Parsing.
- CVE-2024-12085 - Info Leak via uninitialized Stack contents defeats ASLR.
- CVE-2024-12086 - Server leaks arbitrary client files.
- CVE-2024-12087 - Server can make client write files outside of destination
		   directory using symbolic links.
- CVE-2024-12088 - --safe-links Bypass.
- CVE-2024-12747 - symlink race condition.
- Added some file-list safety checking that helps to ensure that a rogue
  sending rsync can't add unrequested top-level names and/or include recursive
  names that should have been excluded by the sender.  These extra safety
  checks only require the receiver rsync to be updated.  When dealing with an
  untrusted sending host, it is safest to copy into a dedicated destination
  directory for the remote content (i.e. don't copy into a destination
  directory that contains files that aren't from the remote host unless you
  trust the remote host). Fixes CVE-2022-29154.
 - A fix for CVE-2022-37434 in the bundled zlib (buffer overflow issue).
 - A fix for CVE-2018-25032 in the bundled zlib (memory corruption issue).
 - Fixed a buffer overrun in the protocol's handling of xattr names and ensure
   that the received name is null terminated.
 - Fix an issue with `--protect-args` where the user could specify the arg in
   the protected-arg list and short-circuit some of the arg-sanitizing code.
