CVE-2026-53790

rsync before 3.5.0 contains multiple command and argument injection vulnerabilities that allow attackers to execute arbitrary commands by supplying malicious input through several code paths, including the RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG environment variable, daemon hooks, the rsync-ssl wrapper, and remote-shell command newline injection. Attackers can inject shell metacharacters or newline characters into unsanitized user-supplied values such as hostnames and hostspecs to execute arbitrary commands under the privileges of the rsync process or the invoking user.

Rsync is an open source utility that provides fast incremental file transfer. It uses the "rsync algorithm" which provides a very fast method for bringing remote files into sync. It does this by sending just the differences in the files across the link, without requiring that both sets of files are present at one of the ends of the link beforehand.

Security Fix(es):

Rsync version 3.4.2 and prior contain symlink race condition vulnerabilities in path-based system calls including chmod, lchown, utimes, rename, unlink, mkdir, symlink, mknod, link, rmdir, and lstat that allow local attackers to redirect operations to files outside the exported rsync module. Attackers with local filesystem access can exploit the timing window between path resolution and syscall execution by swapping symlinks to apply sender-supplied permissions, ownership, timestamps, or filenames to arbitrary files outside the intended module boundary on rsync daemons configured with 'use chroot = no'.(CVE-2026-43619)

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a time-of-check to time-of-use (TOCTOU) race condition vulnerability in the rrsync restricted shell wrapper that allows authenticated clients to escape enforced directory restrictions by substituting a symlink for a path component after validation but before transfer processing. Attackers can additionally leverage unrestricted flags such as --copy-unsafe-links, -D, and --log-file through rrsync to read or write files outside the permitted directory subtree.(CVE-2026-53783)

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows remote clients to access files outside the intended module root when use chroot is disabled and the module root path or a component of it is a symlink. The daemon calls chdir() to the module root at session initialization without resolving symlinks via realpath() or equivalent, causing subsequent relative-path operations to reference files relative to the symlink target rather than the intended module root, enabling unauthorized file access.(CVE-2026-53784)

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a path traversal vulnerability that allows a malicious sender to write files outside the intended destination directory tree by crafting relative paths with symlink components in --relative mode. The make_path() function follows symlinks pointing outside the destination tree while creating intermediate directories without verifying that created paths remain within the destination boundary, enabling arbitrary file writes on the receiver's filesystem.(CVE-2026-53785)

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a filter rule bypass vulnerability that allows authenticated clients to override module-level filter restrictions by supplying malicious --filter merge file directives. Attackers can inject client-side merge file directives during filter evaluation to introduce rules that supersede daemon module-level restrictions, gaining access to files the module filter was intended to exclude.(CVE-2026-53786)

rsync before 3.5.0 contains a newline injection vulnerability in the name-converter uid/gid mapping interface that allows local attackers to forge protocol messages by creating user or group names containing newline characters. Attackers can inject malicious newline characters into names communicated over the pipe-based line-oriented protocol to cause the rsync daemon to process attacker-influenced data as legitimate protocol input, corrupting uid/gid mapping logic.(CVE-2026-53788)

rsync before 3.5.0 contains an improper path handling vulnerability that allows a malicious sender to expand the scope of --delete operations beyond the intended destination subtree by sending a crafted file list that causes rsync to reclassify implied parent directory entries or treat synthetic paths as the transfer root. Attackers can exploit multiple variants including implied parent reclassification, synthetic root path construction, legacy protocol behavior below version 30, and…

• SECURITY UPDATE: sender-side out-of-bounds read driven by a malicious receiver's checksum header with a non-zero block count and a zero block length:
  • debian/patches/els/0012-CVE-2026-53792.patch: reject a zero block length in read_sum_head().
  • CVE-2026-53792.
• SECURITY UPDATE: CPU exhaustion in the sending process via quadratic-time behaviour in hash_search(), driven by a malicious receiver's crafted equal-weak-checksum block list. The attacker is the receiver, but the cycles burned are the sender's: hash_search() is reached only through match_sums(), whose sole caller is send_files() in sender.c. NVD's text attributes the CPU to the receiver; the direction stated here is what the code does:

• CVE-2026-70456: reserve the slot read_args() needs for its trailing NULL, so a peer argument count landing exactly on maxargs cannot write one pointer past the argv allocation
• CVE-2026-70458: refuse FLAG_HLINKED when hard links are not in use and on a directory entry, so a peer cannot displace the checksum slot through hard-link extras that were never reserved; gate the hard-link basis check on S_ISREG(file->mode) so a hard-linked symlink or device cannot read a checksum slot it never had; also set sender_keeps_checksum in the daemon-as-sender path so %C cannot log adjacent heap
• CVE-2026-70462: reject a non-positive MSG_IO_TIMEOUT from the peer and cap it at 24 hours, and make set_io_timeout()'s arithmetic overflow-safe, so a crafted server can neither disable the client's --timeout nor spin it at 100% CPU on a negative select() timeout

• CVE-2026-70458: refuse FLAG_HLINKED when hard links are not in use and on a directory entry, so a peer cannot displace the checksum slot through hard-link extras that were never reserved; also set sender_keeps_checksum in the daemon-as-sender path, and skip the content-based basis match for a hard-linked non-regular file, so %C and --compare-dest cannot read a checksum slot that was never allocated
• CVE-2026-70462: reject a non-positive MSG_IO_TIMEOUT from the peer and cap it at 24 hours, and make set_io_timeout()'s arithmetic overflow-safe, so a crafted server can neither disable the client's --timeout nor spin it at 100% CPU on a negative select() timeout

• CVE-2026-53785: create each implied parent directory through do_mkdir_at() against a held O_NOFOLLOW directory fd, and widen that wrapper's gate from a non-chrooted daemon to any non-chrooted receiver as upstream does, so a parent component raced into a symlink can no longer place --relative directories outside the destination over ssh either
• CVE-2026-53794: reject --max-alloc=0, which disabled the per-allocation size cap entirely instead of enforcing a zero one
• CVE-2026-53790: shell-escape %VAR% expansions for their quoting context in the daemon's exec hooks and refuse a peer value holding shell syntax, quote the program names the rsync-ssl helper execs and restrict the hostname it interpolates into them, refuse a shell-active RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG host, and widen the remote-shell safe_arg() escape set

• CVE-2026-53783: rrsync restricted-directory escape through a symlinked or raced path component, --copy-unsafe-links, -D or a symlinked log file; partial, the dir-merge rule escape needs --confine-root (3.5.0)
• CVE-2026-53790: the daemon's pre-xfer/post-xfer exec hooks and RSYNC_CONNECT_PROG expanded %RSYNC_*%/%H into a shell command without escaping them

• CVE-2026-70456: heap out-of-bounds write in read_args() when the peer's argument count lands exactly on the argv allocation; room for the trailing NULL is reserved
• CVE-2026-70458: out-of-bounds write from a file entry marked FLAG_HLINKED accepted while hard-link preservation was inactive; the flag is now gated and excludes dirs
• CVE-2026-70462: a peer-supplied MSG_IO_TIMEOUT could disable or overflow the client's own I/O timeout; non-positive values are ignored and the value is capped
• CVE-2026-70464: the pre-transfer daemon handshake ran with no I/O timeout, so an unauthenticated peer could hold every max-connections slot indefinitely
• safe_arg() left an uninitialized heap byte in remote-shell filename args
