                     CVE-2026-70464

    Several vulnerabilities were discovered in rsync, a fast, versatile,
    remote (and local) file-copying tool, which could result in local
    privilege escalation, bypass of intended access restrictions,
    information disclosure, denial of service or the execution of arbitrary
    code.

    Details can be found at
    https://download.samba.org/pub/rsync/NEWS#3.5.0

    For the stable distribution (trixie), these problems have been fixed in
    version 3.5.0+ds1-0+deb13u1.

    We recommend that you upgrade your rsync packages.

    For the detailed security status of rsync please refer to its security
    tracker page at:
    https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/rsync

    these updates to your system and frequently asked questions can be
