Please, update RSYNC binary

[jcea]

Current RSYNC binary is version 3.0.6, dated 2009. It is lacking quite a number of useful features of current RSYNC software (version 3.1.2).

Please, upgrade RSYNC version in the live image. Thanks.

Open as OS-6009

Bump!. RSYNC security update today, time to upgrade the live image! :-)

Resolved in joyent/illumos-extra@5a6e22c.

@melloc, This is supposed to be fixed in May 2017.

I see this in my global zone:

That is, my platform is 20170916, this was apparently fixed in may, but I am still seeing an ancient "rsync" binary.

:-?

@jcea Sorry, the commit date on that commit is in May, but it first appears in 20171221. You'll want something after that to get the newer rsync. There's a separate ticket, that should be fixed by the next release, for adding the patches to fix the December CVEs (see OS-6532).

Don't know how helpful this is, but can confirm:
