Synopsis
Important: rsync security update
Description
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.
Security Fix(es):
* rsync: rsync: Remote memory disclosure via integer overflow in compressed-token decoding (CVE-2026-43618)
* rsync: TOCTOU symlink race condition allowing local privilege escalation in daemon mode without chroot. (CVE-2026-29518)
