{"id":"ALSA-2026:26410","summary":"Important: rsync security update","details":"The rsync utility enables the users to copy and synchronize files locally or across a network. Synchronization with rsync is fast because rsync only sends the differences in files over the network instead of sending whole files. The rsync utility is also used as a mirroring tool.  \n\nSecurity Fix(es):  \n\n  * rsync: rsync: Remote memory disclosure via integer overflow in compressed-token decoding (CVE-2026-43618)\n  * rsync: TOCTOU symlink race condition allowing local privilege escalation in daemon mode without chroot. (CVE-2026-29518)\n\n\nFor more details about the security issue(s), including the impact, a CVSS score, acknowledgments, and other related information, refer to the CVE page(s) listed in the References section.\n","modified":"2026-06-18T12:29:12.420976148Z","published":"2026-06-16T00:00:00Z","related":["CVE-2026-29518","CVE-2026-43618"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://access.redhat.com/errata/RHSA-2026:26410"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-29518"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://access.redhat.com/security/cve/CVE-2026-43618"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2469054"},{"type":"REPORT","url":"https://bugzilla.redhat.com/2469055"},{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://errata.almalinux.org/9/ALSA-2026-26410.html"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rsync","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:9","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/rsync"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.2.5-7.el9_8.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux9/ALSA-2026:26410.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rsync-daemon","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:9","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/rsync-daemon"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.2.5-7.el9_8.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux9/ALSA-2026:26410.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rsync-rrsync","ecosystem":"AlmaLinux:9","purl":"pkg:rpm/almalinux/rsync-rrsync"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.2.5-7.el9_8.2"}]}],"database_specific":{"source":"https://github.com/AlmaLinux/osv-database/blob/master/advisories/almalinux9/ALSA-2026:26410.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5"}
