CVE-2026-53794

A flaw was found in rsync. A logic error in the --max-alloc handling allows a remote attacker to disable memory allocation sanity checks by setting --max-alloc=0. This can lead to the receiver attempting unbounded memory allocations, potentially exhausting available memory and causing a denial of...
