In versions prior to 3.4.3, the receiver-side out-of-bounds array read in rsync's recv_files() lets a malicious rsync server (or any peer acting in the sender role) deterministically crash any rsync client that pulls from it. The trigger is fully wire-protocol-level, requires no special options on the victim, and works for both rsync:// URLs and remote-shell pulls; since inc_recurse is the protocol-30+ default, any client doing a normal recursive pull against an attacker-controlled URL is exposed. A malicious server sets CF_INC_RECURSE, sends a flist whose first sorted entry is not the leading \".\" directory (causing parent_ndx to be set to -1), then sends a transfer record with ndx = 0 and an iflag omitting ITEM_TRANSFER, causing the receiver to read 8 bytes before the allocated pointer array and dereference the result in f_name(). The impact is crash-only: the out-of-bounds read lands in glibc mmap chunk metadata and dereferences to an unmapped low address, producing a SEGV that cannot be leveraged into an exploit (confirmed on glibc x86-64 Linux; non-glibc allocators not audited). This issue is fixed in version 3.4.3.","published_at":"2026-07-20T21:03:17.056000Z","last_modified_at":"2026-07-21T16:17:10.963000Z","cvss_v3_score":6.5,"cvss_v3_vector":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H","cvss_v3_severity":"MEDIUM","cvss_v4_score":null,"cvss_v4_vector":null,"cvss_v4_severity":null,"ssvc_decision":null,"ssvc_exploitation":null,"ssvc_automatable":null,"ssvc_technical_impact":null,"cwes":["CWE-125"],"nvd_references":["https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/security/advisories/GHSA-28pw-r563-rxvm"],"vuln_status":"Rejected","trending_score":null,"is_trending":false,"has_trended":false,"trended_number_one":false,"trending_peak_score":null,"trending_peak_rank":null,"started_trending_at":null,"trended_number_one_at":null,"summary_generated":null,"summary_generated_at":null,"summary_model":null,"created_at":"2026-07-20T21:40:10.172215Z","updated_at":"2026-07-21T22:30:37.370341Z"},"effective_severity":"MEDIUM","badges":[],"impact_analysis":[],"cvss_v3_decoded":{"version":"3.1","metrics":[{"metric":"AV","name":"Attack Vector","value":"N","value_label":"Network"},{"metric":"AC","name":"Attack Complexity","value":"L","value_label":"Low"},{"metric":"PR","name":"Privileges Required","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"UI","name":"User Interaction","value":"R","value_label":"Required"},{"metric":"S","name":"Scope","value":"U","value_label":"Unchanged"},{"metric":"C","name":"Confidentiality","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"I","name":"Integrity","value":"N","value_label":"None"},{"metric":"A","name":"Availability","value":"H","value_label":"High"}]},"cvss_v4_decoded":{"version":null,"metrics":[]},"affected":[{"vendor_slug":"rsyncproject","vendor_name":"RsyncProject","product_slug":"rsync","product_name":"rsync","version_start":"< 3.4.3","version_start_inclusive":true,"version_end":"< 3.4.3","version_end_inclusive":true,"cpe23_uri":"cve5:rsyncproject:rsync:< 3.4.3:< 3.4.3"}],"exploit_refs":[],"news":[],"references":[{"url":"https://github.com/RsyncProject/rsync/security/advisories/GHSA-28pw-r563-rxvm","source_type":"VENDOR_ADVISORY","tags":["advisory"]}],"timeline":[{"type":"published","at":"2026-07-20T21:03:17.056000Z","label":"CVE published","source":null}]}
