RHSA-2026:17481
Vulnerability from csaf_redhat - Published: 2026-05-14 09:31 - Updated: 2026-09-01 12:02A flaw was found in rsync. When rsync is configured to handle extended attributes (using the -X or --xattrs option), a remote attacker can exploit a use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs because the receive_xattr function incorrectly processes an untrusted length value during a sorting operation, leading to memory corruption. Successful exploitation can result in a denial of service, causing the rsync process to crash, and may potentially allow for arbitrary code execution.

"text": "A flaw was found in rsync. When rsync is configured to handle extended attributes (using the -X or --xattrs option), a remote attacker can exploit a use-after-free vulnerability. This occurs because the receive_xattr function incorrectly processes an untrusted length value during a sorting operation, leading to memory corruption. Successful exploitation can result in a denial of service, causing the rsync process to crash, and may potentially allow for arbitrary code execution.",
