Description
rsync vulnerabilities It was discovered that rsync proceeds with certain file metadata updates before checking for a filename. An attacker could use this to bypass access restrictions. (CVE-2017-17433) It was discovered that rsync does not check for fnamecmp filenames and also does not apply the sanitize_paths protection mechanism to pathnames. An attacker could use this to bypass access restrictions. (CVE-2017-17434)

USN-8349-3ubuntursyncrsync regression
USN-8349-1 fixed vulnerabilities in rsync. Unfortunately that update introduced multiple
regressions in rsync functionality. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Calum Hutton discovered that rsync contained a heap-based out-of-bounds
read when handling file transfers. A remote attacker with read access
to an rsync server could possibly use this issue to cause a denial of
service. (CVE-2025-10158)
Batuhan Sancak, Damien Neil, and Michael Stapelberg discovered that
rsync daemons configured without chroot protection were exposed to a
race condition on parent path components. A local attacker with write
access to a module could possibly use this issue to overwrite files,
obtain sensitive information, or escalate privileges.
(CVE-2026-29518)
It was discovered that rsync did not properly validate a length value
while sorting extended attributes. An attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-41035)
It was discovered that rsync performed reverse-DNS lookups after
chrooting in some daemon configurations. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to bypass hostname-based access controls and
access network services. (CVE-2026-43617)
Omar Elsayed discovered that rsync did not properly check for integer
overflows while decoding compressed tokens. A remote attacker could
possibly use this issue to obtain sensitive information.
(CVE-2026-43618)
Andrew Tridgell discovered that rsync did not fully fix a symlink race
condition in path-based system calls for daemons configured without
chroot protection. A local attacker could possibly use this issue to
overwrite files, obtain sensitive information, or escalate privileges.
(CVE-2026-43619)
Pratham Gupta discovered that rsync did not properly validate an index
while processing file lists. A remote attacker could possibly use this
issue to cause rsync to crash, resulting in a denial of service.
(CVE-2026-43620)
Michal Ruprich discovered that rsync contained an off-by-one error
while handling HTTP proxy responses. An attacker able to intercept network
communications or a malicious proxy server could possibly use this issue to
cause a denial of service. (CVE-2026-45232)USN-8349-2ubuntursyncrsync regression

USN-7206-3 fixed vulnerabilities in rsync for Ubuntu 24.10. The update
introduced a regression in rsync. This update fixes the problem.
We apologize for the inconvenience.
Original advisory details:
Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync
did not properly handle checksum lengths. An attacker could use this
issue to execute arbitrary code. (CVE-2024-12084)

compared checksums with uninitialized memory. An attacker could exploit
this issue to leak sensitive information. (CVE-2024-12085)

incorrectly handled file checksums. A malicious server could use this
to expose arbitrary client files. (CVE-2024-12086)
Simon Scannell, Pedro Gallegos, and Jasiel Spelman discovered that rsync
mishandled symlinks for some settings. An attacker could exploit this
to write files outside the intended directory. (CVE-2024-12087)
