Description
librsync before 1.0.0 uses a truncated MD4 checksum to match blocks, which makes it easier for remote attackers to modify transmitted data via a birthday attack.
Affected
Our own answer: ranges merged, affected separated from platform-only, with confidence and review flags.
v < 1.0.0
Affected range stops below 1.0.0, so it looks safe — our inference, not a vendor statement
