commit: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=70d836c618550b58efc75dd1305272e8d221d9cb
branch: https://git.buildroot.net/buildroot/commit/?id=refs/heads/2017.11.x

The receive_xattr function in xattrs.c in rsync 3.1.2 and 3.1.3-development
does not check for a trailing '\0' character in an xattr name, which allows
remote attackers to cause a denial of service (heap-based buffer over-read
and application crash) or possibly have unspecified other impact by sending
crafted data to the daemon.
