The Rocky Linux 9 host has packages installed that are affected by multiple vulnerabilities as referenced in the CIQ crlsa-202667462 advisory. rsync: rsync 2.3.3 3.5.0 Path Traversal via --partial-dir/--backup-dir Symlink CVE-2026-70460 rsync: rsync: TLS Certificate Validation Bypass allows...

rsync: rsync: Arbitrary File Read via Symlink Following

A flaw was found in rsync. A local attacker with low privileges can exploit a symlink following vulnerability in the handling of input configuration files, such as those specified by --files-from or --password-file. This allows the attacker to read arbitrary files accessible to the rsync daemon...

rsync: rsync 3.1.0 < 3.5.0 Access Control Bypass via DNS Resolution Failure

A flaw was found in rsync. This vulnerability allows a remote attacker to bypass hostname-based access control rules. By inducing DNS resolution failures, the rsync daemon incorrectly skips deny rules, granting unauthorized access to restricted module file trees...

rsync: rsync: Denial of Service via Algorithmic Complexity

A flaw was found in rsync. A remote attacker can exploit an algorithmic complexity vulnerability within the hashsearch function by sending a specially crafted file list. This can lead to the exhaustion of the receiver's CPU resources, causing a sustained denial of service DoS...

rsync: rsync: Information disclosure and denial of service via crafted files-from entry

A flaw was found in rsync. Remote unauthenticated attackers can exploit a heap out-of-bounds write vulnerability by supplying a crafted files-from entry. This entry, containing both an interior and trailing backslash, causes the addimpliedinclude function to under-count the trailing backslash whe...

rsync: rsync: Authorization bypass via `auth users` directive parsing

An authorization bypass flaw was found in the rsync daemon. The auth users directive parser incorrectly handles group names containing spaces due to comma-only tokenization. This flaw causes deny rules to be silently discarded, allowing an authenticated user to bypass restrictions and gain...

rsync: rsync: Denial of Service via handshake stall

A denial of service flaw was found in the rsync daemon. An unauthenticated remote attacker can stall the handshake process by opening multiple concurrent connections and trickling data or stalling prior to module selection. This bypasses standard timeouts and exhausts all available connection...

rsync: rsync: Heap Out-of-Bounds Write via crafted argument list

A flaw was found in rsync. A remote attacker could exploit an out-of-bounds write vulnerability in the readargs function by sending a specially crafted argument list. This could lead to corruption of adjacent memory, potentially causing a denial of service or, in some cases, arbitrary code...

Important: Red Hat Security Advisory: rsync security, bug fix, and enhancement update

An update for rsync is now available for Red Hat Enterprise Linux 8. Red Hat Product Security has rated this update as having a security impact of Important. A Common Vulnerability Scoring System CVSS base score, which gives a detailed severity rating, is available for each vulnerability from the...

rsync: rsync: Arbitrary file write via path traversal in --relative mode

A path traversal vulnerability in rsync's --relative mode allows a malicious sender to craft symlink paths, enabling arbitrary file writes outside the destination directory...

rsync: rsync: Unauthorized File Access via Symlink Module Root

A flaw was found in rsync. This path traversal vulnerability allows remote clients to access files outside the intended module root. This occurs when the use chroot option is disabled and the module root path, or a component of it, is a symbolic link. The rsync daemon fails to resolve symlinks...

rsync: rsync: Local Privilege Escalation via Symlink Following

A symlink-following vulnerability in rsync allows local attackers to redirect predictable output paths to arbitrary filesystem locations. When rsync runs with elevated privileges such as setuid or a privileged daemon, this enables arbitrary file overwrites and local privilege escalation...

rsync: rsync: Arbitrary file write via --temp-dir or --link-dest options

A flaw was found in rsync. A remote attacker can exploit this vulnerability by specifying an absolute path using the --temp-dir or --link-dest options. This bypasses the rename-confinement logic, allowing the attacker to write files to arbitrary locations outside the intended destination tree,...

rsync: rsync < 3.5.0 Path Confinement Bypass via /./ Boundary Marker in Chroot Mode

A flaw was found in rsync. This vulnerability allows remote clients to bypass path confinement, a security measure designed to restrict file access. By crafting specific paths that include a '/./' boundary marker within a chroot environment, an attacker can gain unauthorized read or write access ...

rsync: rsync < 3.5.0 Command Injection via Multiple Code Paths

A command injection vulnerability in rsync allows remote attackers to execute arbitrary commands by supplying shell metacharacters or newlines in unsanitized inputs, such as hostnames or hostspecs. This impacts multiple vectors—including the RSYNCCONNECTPROG variable, daemon hooks, rsync-ssl, and...

rsync: rsync: Memory corruption via crafted file entries

A flaw was found in rsync. This out-of-bounds write vulnerability allows attackers to corrupt memory by triggering specific processing on specially crafted file entries when hard-link preservation is not active. This can lead to denial of service or other unpredictable system behavior...

rsync: rsync 2.3.3 < 3.5.0 Path Traversal via --partial-dir/--backup-dir Symlink

A path traversal and symlink vulnerability in rsync allows a malicious sender with write access to write files outside the intended directory. By exploiting symbolic links in conjunction with the --partial-dir or --backup-dir options, an attacker can bypass path restrictions to modify arbitrary...
