Description OSIDB Bzimport 2026-05-11 13:47:58 UTC
A flaw was found in rsync. An authenticated daemon peer can exploit an integer overflow vulnerability in the compressed-token decoder. By carefully manipulating the compressed-token, a malicious sender can trigger an overflow, leading to remote memory disclosure. This allows an attacker to leak sensitive process memory contents, including environment variables, passwords, and memory pointers, which significantly weakens Address Space Layout Randomization (ASLR) and can facilitate further exploitation.
