Rsync · Rsync · CVE-2026-70453
**Name of the Vulnerable Software and Affected Versions**
rsync versions prior to 3.5.0
**Description**
An algorithmic complexity issue exists in the `hash search()` function. A remote attacker can trigger a denial of service by sending a carefully constructed file list. This exploit leverages quadratic-time worst-case behavior during hash lookups to exhaust the receiver's CPU resources using a small number of crafted entries, resulting in a sustained denial of service.
**Recommendations**
Update rsync to version 3.5.0 or later.
