        Incorrect filtering of command line when using rsync
        protocol. It was for example possible to pass dangerous
        options after a '--' switch. The rsync protocol support
        has been added in a Debian (and Fedora/Red Hat) specific
        patch, so this vulnerability doesn't affect upstream.
    
      - CVE-2012-2252
        Incorrect filtering of the '--rsh' option: the filter
        preventing usage of the'--rsh=' option would not prevent
