{"id":"DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44510","details":"Rsync is a file-copying tool that uses a delta-transfer algorithm to synchronize remote and local files. 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issue is fixed in version 3.4.3.","modified":"2026-07-22T02:00:43.298912733Z","published":"2026-07-20T22:17:13.957Z","withdrawn":"2026-07-22T02:00:43.298912545Z","upstream":["CVE-2026-44510"],"references":[{"type":"ADVISORY","url":"https://security-tracker.debian.org/tracker/CVE-2026-44510"}],"affected":[{"package":{"name":"rsync","ecosystem":"Debian:11","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rsync?arch=source&distro=bullseye"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.2.3-4","3.2.3-4+deb11u1","3.2.3-4+deb11u2","3.2.3-4+deb11u3","3.2.3-4+deb11u4","3.2.3-5","3.2.3-6","3.2.3-7","3.2.3-8","3.2.4-1","3.2.4-1~bpo11+1","3.2.5-1","3.2.6-1","3.2.6-2","3.2.6-3","3.2.6-4","3.2.7-1","3.2.7-1~bpo11+1","3.3.0+ds1-1","3.3.0+ds1-2","3.3.0+ds1-3","3.3.0+ds1-4","3.3.0-1","3.4.1+ds1-1","3.4.1+ds1-2","3.4.1+ds1-3","3.4.1+ds1-4","3.4.1+ds1-4~exp1","3.4.1+ds1-4~exp2","3.4.1+ds1-5","3.4.1+ds1-5~exp1","3.4.1+ds1-6","3.4.1+ds1-7","3.4.1+ds1-8~exp1","3.4.2+ds1-1","3.4.2+ds1-2","3.4.3+ds1-1","3.4.3+ds1-2","3.4.4+ds1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44510.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rsync","ecosystem":"Debian:12","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rsync?arch=source&distro=bookworm"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.2.7-1","3.2.7-1+deb12u1","3.2.7-1+deb12u2","3.2.7-1+deb12u3","3.2.7-1+deb12u4","3.2.7-1+deb12u5","3.2.7-1+deb12u6","3.3.0+ds1-1","3.3.0+ds1-2","3.3.0+ds1-3","3.3.0+ds1-4","3.3.0-1","3.4.1+ds1-1","3.4.1+ds1-2","3.4.1+ds1-3","3.4.1+ds1-4","3.4.1+ds1-4~exp1","3.4.1+ds1-4~exp2","3.4.1+ds1-5","3.4.1+ds1-5~exp1","3.4.1+ds1-6","3.4.1+ds1-7","3.4.1+ds1-8~exp1","3.4.2+ds1-1","3.4.2+ds1-2","3.4.3+ds1-1","3.4.3+ds1-2","3.4.4+ds1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44510.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rsync","ecosystem":"Debian:13","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rsync?arch=source&distro=trixie"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"}]}],"versions":["3.4.1+ds1-5","3.4.1+ds1-5+deb13u1","3.4.1+ds1-5+deb13u2","3.4.1+ds1-5+deb13u3","3.4.1+ds1-5+deb13u4","3.4.1+ds1-6","3.4.1+ds1-7","3.4.1+ds1-8~exp1","3.4.2+ds1-1","3.4.2+ds1-2","3.4.3+ds1-1","3.4.3+ds1-2","3.4.4+ds1-1"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44510.json"}},{"package":{"name":"rsync","ecosystem":"Debian:14","purl":"pkg:deb/debian/rsync?arch=source&distro=forky"},"ranges":[{"type":"ECOSYSTEM","events":[{"introduced":"0"},{"fixed":"3.4.3+ds1-1"}]}],"versions":["3.4.1+ds1-5","3.4.1+ds1-6","3.4.1+ds1-7","3.4.1+ds1-8~exp1","3.4.2+ds1-1","3.4.2+ds1-2"],"ecosystem_specific":{"urgency":"not yet assigned"},"database_specific":{"source":"https://storage.googleapis.com/osv-test-debian-osv/debian-cve-osv/DEBIAN-CVE-2026-44510.json"}}],"schema_version":"1.7.5","severity":[{"type":"CVSS_V3","score":"CVSS:3.1/AV:N/AC:L/PR:N/UI:R/S:U/C:N/I:N/A:H"}]}
