This sounds like its a good candidate for moving to deleted.  The rsync
protocol is pretty unstructured in places and essentially requires a
preprocessor to parse and deal with effectively.  We'll give rsync 2.5.6
and 2.5.7 a diff check out the heap overflow and see if it's fixable, if
not we'll move it to deleted.  In the mean time I'd suggest disabling it
in your environment.

What do you suggest using to replace rsync?  It's used quite extensively in
some places.

I think Matthew meant disabling the rule, not rsync itself.

cheers,
 Jamie
