CVE Request: rsync denial of service

[Marc Deslauriers <marc.deslauriers () canonical com>]

Hello,

Ryan Finnie discovered that rsync 3.1.0 contains a denial of service issue when
attempting to authenticate using a nonexistent username. A remote attacker could
use this flaw to cause a denial of service via CPU consumption.

Bug reports:

Fix:

Could a CVE please be assigned to this issue?

Thanks,

Marc.
