Package : lsyncd
CVE ID : CVE-2014-8990

It was discovered that lsyncd, a daemon to synchronize local directories
using rsync, performed insufficient sanitising of filenames which might
result in the execution of arbitrary commands.

For the stable distribution (wheezy), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.0.7-3+deb7u1.

For the upcoming stable distribution (jessie), this problem has been
fixed in version 2.1.5-2.

For the unstable distribution (sid), this problem has been fixed in
version 2.1.5-2.

We recommend that you upgrade your lsyncd packages.
