rsync 3.1.2-8 (packaged on 2017-10-30) is vulnerable to 3 CVEs:

https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-16548
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17433
https://nvd.nist.gov/vuln/detail/CVE-2017-17434

A quick glance over the commit messages in upstream's git hints to the presence of even more vulnerabilities. My suggestion would be to simply upgrade to rsync v3.1.3pre1, which was tagged/committed yesterday:
