Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast

Overview Affected versions of this package are vulnerable to Incorrect Type Conversion or Cast through the name-converter process. An attacker can cause transferred files to be owned by root by manipulating responses from the name-converter to return empty values for uid or gid lookups, which are...

CVE-2026-53798

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a privilege confusion vulnerability in the name-converter subprocess uid/gid mapping that allows local attackers to cause transferred files to be owned by root by influencing name-converter responses to return empty values. When the name-converter subprocess returns an...

python: Python Tarfile: Unexpected file ownership when extracting hardlinks

A flaw was found in the Python Tarfile.extract function. This vulnerability occurs when processing untrusted tar files containing hardlinks, as the filter parameter is not correctly enforced. An attacker could exploit this to write files with unintended user or group ownership, potentially leadin...
