rsync: update to 3.2.5.
# NEWS for rsync 3.2.5 (14 Aug 2022)
## Changes in this version:
### SECURITY FIXES:
- Added some file-list safety checking that helps to ensure that a rogue
sending rsync can't add unrequested top-level names and/or include recursive
names that should have been excluded by the sender. These extra safety
checks only require the receiver rsync to be updated. When dealing with an
untrusted sending host, it is safest to copy into a dedicated destination
directory for the remote content (i.e. don't copy into a destination
directory that contains files that aren't from the remote host unless you
trust the remote host). Fixes CVE-2022-29154.
- A fix for CVE-2022-37434 in the bundled zlib (buffer overflow issue).
### BUG FIXES:
- Fixed the handling of filenames specified with backslash-quoted wildcards
when the default remote-arg-escaping is enabled.
- Fixed the configure check for signed char that was causing a host that
defaults to unsigned characters to generate bogus rolling checksums. This
made rsync send mostly literal data for a copy instead of finding matching
data in the receiver's basis file (for a file that contains high-bit
characters).
- Lots of manpage improvements, including an attempt to better describe how
include/exclude filters work.
- If rsync is compiled with an xxhash 0.8 library and then moved to a system
with a dynamically linked xxhash 0.7 library, we now detect this and disable
the XX3 hashes (since these routines didn't stabilize until 0.8).
### ENHANCEMENTS:
- The [`--trust-sender`](rsync.1#opt) option was added as a way to bypass the
extra file-list safety checking (should that be required).
### PACKAGING RELATED:
- A note to those wanting to patch older rsync versions: the changes in this
release requires the quoted argument change from 3.2.4. Then, you'll want
every single code change from 3.2.5 since there is no fluff in this release.
- The build date that goes into the manpages is now based on the developer's
release date, not on the build's local-timezone interpretation of the date.
### DEVELOPER RELATED:
- Configure now defaults GETGROUPS_T to gid_t when cross compiling.
- Configure now looks for the bsd/string.h include file in order to fix the
build on a host that has strlcpy() in the main libc but not defined in the
main string.h file.
